I am brand new to HP-UX but am quite familiar with Linux systems (Red Hat, Ubuntu etc..)
I've just taken over a new HP-UX box and trying to work out how to create a logical volume.
As well as creating the volume, which I am sure is very easy I need to create a special character file for an Oracle database datafile.
Some details:

What I am trying to do is create a special file like the "r_css_pagf9"
Unfortunately the person that usually deals with this is no longer available and I am having to do his job for him and hence the assistance.
Any questions? Please ask.
Thanks to all that reply.

Hello,
I have logical volume group of 50GB, in which I have 2 logical volumes, LogVol01 and LogVol02, both are of 10GB.
If I extend LogVol01 further by 10GB, then it keeps the extended copy after logical volume 2. I want to know where it keeps this information

Hi,
What is the typical AIX procedure for creating a logical volume from CLI.
I have mostly worked on HPUX so far and on which the typica steps are:
1: pvcreate -f /dev/rdsk/<mydisk>
2: mkdir /dev/<myvg>
3: mknod /dev/<myvg>/group C 64 <0x030000>
4: vgcreate /dev/<myvg>... (2 Replies)
Does anyone have any simple methods for moving a current logical volume from one volume group to another? I do not wish to move the data from one physical volume to another. Basically, I want to "relink" the logical volume to exist in a different volume group. Any ideas? (2 Replies)
Hi!
Can anyone help me on how I can do a basic check on the Unix filesystems / physical volumes and logical volumes?
What items should I check, like where do I look at in smit? Or are there commands that I should execute?

Hi,
I am new to unix. I am working on Red Hat Linux and side by side on AIX also. After reading the concepts of Storage, I am now really confused regarding the terminologies
1)Physical Volume
2)Volume Group
3)Logical Volume
4)Physical Partition
Please help me to understand these concepts. (6 Replies)
Hello everyone,
I just read that while creating a logical volume(LV) we can choose the region of the physical volume (PV) in which the LV should be created.
When I say region I mean: outer edge - outer middle - center - inner middle and inner edge.
Can anyone help me understand the utility... (11 Replies)
hi,
I want to create a volume group of 200 GB and then create different file systems on that.
please help me out. Its becomes confusing when the PP calculating PP.
I don't understand this concept. (2 Replies)
Hello Guys,
I want to create a file system dedicated for an application installation. But there is no space in volume group to create a new logical volume. There is enough space in other logical volume which is being mounted on /var.
I know we can use that logical volume and create a virtual... (2 Replies)
