Before creating volumes and filesystem for a database, you must set up a disk group for each database.
Review the disk group configuration guidelines before creating disk groups.
See Disk group configuration guidelines for deploying DB2.
To create a disk group
# /opt/VRTS/bin/vxdg init disk_group disk_name=disk_device
For example, to create a disk group named PRODdg on a raw disk partition, where the disk name PRODdg01 references the disk within the disk group:
AIX
# /opt/VRTS/bin/vxdg init PRODdg PRODdg01=Disk_0
Linux
# /opt/VRTS/bin/vxdg init PRODdg PRODdg01=sda
For example, to add a disk named PRODdg02 to the disk group PRODdg:
AIX
# /opt/VRTS/bin/vxdg -g PRODdg adddisk PRODdg02=Disk_0
# /opt/VRTS/bin/vxdg -g PRODdg adddisk PRODdg03=Disk_1
# /opt/VRTS/bin/vxdg -g PRODdg adddisk PRODdg04=Disk_2
Linux
# /opt/VRTS/bin/vxdg -g PRODdg adddisk PRODdg02=sda
# /opt/VRTS/bin/vxdg -g PRODdg adddisk PRODdg03=sdb
# /opt/VRTS/bin/vxdg -g PRODdg adddisk PRODdg04=sdc
