Adding a disk to an AIX box
I have been asked to look at an AIX box that the owner (not a technical person) installed a new SCSI disk into, but cannot figure out how to build volumes or file systems on. It has been years since I messed with AIX, and I remember enough to know that it isn't like Solaris.

To make things worse there are no man pages on the box Smilie

Can anyone point me to some documentation? I would be extremely greatful!!
