Setting up Logical Volumes in Solaris 10

I have just created two RAID 0 ( Stripped ) devices through Storage Manager and can see them as d0 and d1 ( /dev/md/dsk/d0 and d1 appear to exist )

However how do I now mount these devices ? The manual talks about creating a UFS of LOFS filesystem. Do I need to do this ?

I have create /u01 and /u02 at root to accommodate a mount of these logical volumes but do I need to actually create anything else ?

I thought all I would have to do would be to make an VFSTAB entries as below :

/dev/md/dsk/d0 /dev/md/rdsk/d0 /u01 ufs 2 yes -
/dev/md/dsk/d1 /dev/md/rdsk/d1 /u02 ufs 2 yes -

Should the entry say ufs or lofs ?

any help appreciated,
Jim

it will be "ufs" ...
create a filesystem on d0 and d1, then you can mount them.

Sorry for being a dummy - normally if I was creating a UFS file system from a physical disk I would issue something like :

newfs /dev/rdsk/c1t0d0s0

Are you saying I need to do the same for a logical volume eg :

newfs /dev/md/rdsk/d0

also do I use the raw device ( rdsk ) or the block device ( dsk ) in the newfs command when dealing with logcal volumes ?

On the raw device, now that you have created the MDs just treat them like any other disk, just with a different path.
