    As with many system administration tasks, you can use SAM to create and maintain logical volumes. However, some functions can only be performed with HP-UX commands. The procedures in this appendix are performed using the command-line interface rather than SAM. Definitions of Common Terms Volume groups are HP-UX’s method for dividing and allocating disk storage capacity.
