30 HP StorageWorks Disk Array XP Operating System Configuration Guide: HP-UX
Configure disk array devices
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 (page 31)
2. Creating the device files (page 33)
3. Creating the physical volumes (page 36)
4. Creating new volume groups (page 37)
5. Creating logical volumes (page 40)
6. Creating the file systems (page 42)
7. Setting the I/O timeout parameter (page 44)
8. Creating the mount directories (page 45)
9. Mounting and verifying the file systems (page 46)
10. Setting and verifying the auto-mount parameters (page 47)
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 (page 67) for
further information.
