User created filesystems on VIOS

[tempest92]

Can i create an additional filesystem on a VIOS ?

I want to run nmon and want a location to store the output files ?

Would it be better practice to just create an nmon directory under /home/padmin ?

Can anyone tell me what the IBM directive or recommendation on this is.

Thanks.

I waited a couples days to respond in case someone knew the IBM recommendationed way. I don't know the official way but reading the Advanced Power Virtulization best practices redbook there are many references to user-definced devices such as storagepools, volume groups, and logical volumes. With that being said I have created seperate file systems from the oem_setup_env as you would on any AIX server. I have never had a problem and again from what I understand from the material you shouldn't have a problem if you want to do that.

If someone disagrees I am sure they will tell you and me.
