Creating a Shared Dynamic Disk GroupThe New Dynamic Disk Group procedure creates an additional dynamic disk group. Disks must be placed in dynamic disk groups before they can be used by VxVM. The default disk group (rootdg) is usually created during VxVM installation and always exists on a system running VxVM. You can create additional dynamic disk groups to organize your disks into logical sets of disks. When you place a disk under VxVM control, the disk is initialized. Initialization destroys any existing data on the disk. (You can use encapsulation to preserve disk data.) The steps for creating a new dynamic disk group are:
The New Dynamic Disk Group wizard screen appears. When you have provided all necessary information in the dialog box, click OK. Indicate whether the disk should be initialized or encapsulated. If you initialize the disk, any existing data on the disk will be destroyed. If you encapsulate the disk, any existing data will be preserved in volumes. |
