Configuring Storage Foundation

When you configure Storage Foundation, you are prompted to specify a disk
group for the configuration database. A disk group is a collection of disks that
share a common configuration (for example, the configuration objects that
belong to a single database).
Note: For the Policy Master to fail over from one system to another, the disk
group and volume must not be in use by other applications. The disk group must
also be free of any volumes that are in use by other applications.

enter disk names
If you are prompted to enter
disk names
At the disk prompt, enter the names of the disks in the disk group. Separate
disk names with a space. For example, enter the following: sdb sdb2.
The Policy Master uses the names you enter to create the disk group.
At the initialization prompt, choose to initialize the disks. Enter the
following: y.
You are prompted to specify a volume for the configuration database. A
volume is a virtual disk device that appears to applications, databases, and
file systems. A volume is like a physical disk partition. However, a volume
does not have the physical limitations of a disk partition.
