to the group must be made a physical volume with

pvcreate:

Creating the Volume

Group

To create the volume group and associate the physical volume

with it, use the

vgcreate command:

vgcreate takes as its first argument the pathname of the volume

group directory, and as its second argument the full pathname of

the block device file (not the character device file, which was used

to create the physical volume) of the disk drive.

# pvcreate /dev/rdsk/c0t2d0

Physical volume "/dev/rdsk/c0t2d0" has been

successfully created

# vgcreate /dev/vg02 /dev/dsk/c0t2d0

Increased the number of physical extents per

physical volume to 2167.

Volume group "/dev/vg02" has been successfully

created

Volume Group configuration for /dev/vg02 has

been saved in /etc/lvmconf/vg02.conf
