Creating volumes for other partitions on a nopriv disk

To create volumes for other partitions on a nopriv disk

  1. Add the partition to a disk group.

  2. Determine where the partition resides within the encapsulated partition.

  3. If no data is to be preserved on the partition, use vxassist to create a volume with the required length.

    Warning:

    By default, vxassist re-initializes the data area of a volume that it creates. If there is data to be preserved on the partition, do not use vxassist. Instead, create the volume with vxmake and start the volume with the command vxvol init active.
