Is the name of the volume group "rootvg" or "bootvg"? You seem to be talking about 2 VGs here.

Go ahead and make the FS in your volume, that won't destroy your other volumes in your DG.

Here's the syntaxe I use:
Code:
mkfs -F FSTYPE -o OPTIONS /dev/vx/rdsk/DGNAME/volumeName

I put largefiles as an option to be able to have files over 2 Gbytes. Might not be needed in your case but I need it most of the times.

You'll then have to mount it and if you want it to be mounted on boot, don't forget to edit your /etc/vfstab.

mounted.ocfs2

mounted.ocfs2(8)						OCFS2 Manual Pages						  mounted.ocfs2(8)

NAME

       mounted.ocfs2 - Detects all OCFS2 volumes on a system.

SYNOPSIS

       mounted.ocfs2 [-d] [-f] [device]

DESCRIPTION

       mounted.ocfs2  is used to detect OCFS2 volume(s) on a system.  This tool assumes that the nodes detected on the system are part of the same
       cluster as the one specified in /etc/ocfs2/cluster.conf.

OPTIONS

       -d     Lists the OCFS2 volumes along with their labels and uuids.  If a device is not specified, it scans all the devices  in  /proc/parti-
	      tions.

       -f     Lists  the OCFS2 volumes along with the list of nodes that have mounted the volume. The node names are listed if the O2CB cluster is
	      online. Note: As this information is gathered using dirty-read, the information may be stale.

EXAMPLES

       [root@node1 ~]# mounted.ocfs2 -d
       Device	   FS	  Stack  UUID				   Label
       /dev/sdb1   ocfs2  local  2D1C9636FE38462DB43A75D1DA592207  vmvol
       /dev/sdj1   ocfs2  o2cb	 FF2E239B02D941FEAF25BDAE8DD553B9  dbstore

       [root@node1 ~]# mounted.ocfs2 -f
       Device	   FS	  Nodes
       /dev/sdb1   ocfs2  node15, node1
