To create a file system for non-MPP instances on AIX

1. Create a disk group on the shared disk. List the disks using the lsdev -Cc disk command. In this case the group consists of one disk, hdisk5. For example:

   # vxdg init db2db_dg hdisk5

   Deport and import the disk group:

   # vxdg deport db2db_dg
   # vxdg import db2db_dg

2. Create a volume of 3 GB using the vxassist command:

   # vxassist -g db2db_dg make db2db_vol 3g

3. Create the file system:

   # mkfs -V vxfs -o largefiles /dev/vx/dsk/db2db_dg/db2db_vol

4. Create the mount point directory and mount the file system. Make sure that the mount point exists on all nodes in the cluster on the local file system - not on shared storage.

   # mkdir /db2_mnt/db2inst1
   # mount -V vxfs /dev/vx/dsk/db2db_dg/db2db_vol \
     /db2_mnt/db2inst1
