Questions about setting up GPFS
Hello, I need to test whether our product will work with GPFS filesystems and I have some questions regarding the setup:

1. Do I need to dedicate an entire hard disk if I want to have GPFS on it? Or can I somehow split a disk into 2 virtual disks, and only use 1 for gpfs?
2. If lspv returns "none" that means the disk is connected but has not been allocated, and thus available for use in GPFS setup?
Example (hdisk3):
Code:
[root@aix01: /]# lspv
hdisk0          00ca0c3546524b4e                    rootvg          active
hdisk1          00ca0c35797dab06                    vg1             active
hdisk2          00ca0c35797daba9                    vg1             active
hdisk3          none                                None
hdisk4          00ca0c35645c51bf                    san1            active
hdisk5          00ca0c3564646ef3                    san2            active

3. Do I have to have a second node in order to create a cluster and create a gpfs on that cluster? Or can I start with one node (just to test functionality) and add a second node later? (basically, can I use that one system above with hdisk3 available to test gpfs on its own?)

Thanks in advance
