Need help with adding a fibre attached disk to aix 5.3

[jonwheeler]

I have an infortrend connected to a p-series aix system, and the infortrend shows up as hdisk2.

My problem is that I have no clue how to mount it. I'm planning on populating the infortrend with a lot of data to do something tape library testing, and will be using the infortrend on multiple aix systems.

I know how to mount/create filesystem in hp-ux, solaris, linux, and windows, but doing it in aix is evading me.

I'm fairly new to aix, and I can't seem to find the info I need.

Any help will be appreciated.

Google for AIX LVM and find/read a tutorial...

You also may find the info in this thread useful: thread52-1510186

And HP-UX? Doesn't that use a similar LVM to AIX? Ok maybe the commands are named differently but it is basically the same thing...



HTH,

Thanks so much for pointing me in the right direction! I got everything figured out. Now to just put some data on the disks.

I just wasn't looking for the right info.
