This section explains how to set up VxVM enclosure-based naming. To carry out further tasks such as disk encapsulation or initialization, please see the Veritas Volume Manager System Administrator's Guide.
Note
In releases of VxVM (Volume Manager) prior to 4.0, a system installed with Volume Manager was configured with a default disk group, rootdg, that had to contain at least one disk. By default, operations were directed to the rootdg disk group. From release 4.0 onward, Volume Manager can function without any disk group having been configured. Only when the first disk is placed under Volume Manager control must a disk group be configured. There is no longer a requirement that you name any disk group rootdg, and any disk group that is named rootdg has no special properties by having this name. During the setup procedures, you will be asked if you want to create a default disk group, and asked to specify its name.
