Maybe pointing you in the correct direction?
For hp-ux, you would have
pvcreate to create the physical volume
vgcreate to create the volume group
lvcreate to create the logical volume (or your mount point)
I seem to recall AIX as
mkdev
mkvg
mklv
So, take a look at mklv command.
The following link has a good cross-reference, so if you know a command for one unix flavor, it would point you to the associated command for a different unix flavor (or system type).

Dear Gurus,
Could it be possible to have the output of df -k sorted? The df -k output messed up after recent power trip.
Also, is there any folders that I should look into to reduce the root size (other than /var/adm and /var/crash) after server crash?
Many thanks in advance.

3 volume group status
4 internal volume group number
5 maximum number of logical volumes
6 current number of logical volumes
7 open count of all logical volumes in this volume group
