Configure Disk Array Devices - HP StorageWorks XP12000 Configuration Manual

Configure disk array devices

Installation
Disk arrays are configured using the same procedure for configuring any
new disk on the host. This includes the following procedures:
1. Verifying the device files and drivers
2. Creating the device files
3. Creating the physical volumes
4. Creating new volume groups
5. Creating logical volumes
6. Creating the file systems
7. Setting the I/O timeout parameter
8. Creating the mount directories
9. Mounting and verifying the file systems
10. Setting and verifying the auto-mount parameters
The HP-UX system uses the Logical Volume Manager (LVM) to manage
the OPEN-x devices on the disk array. The instructions in this section do
not explicitly cover all LVM configuration issues. For further information
on LVM configuration, see the HP-UX user documentation.
HP System Administrator Manager (SAM) can be used instead of UNIX
commands to configure SCSI disk devices. See appendix C
further information.
