To set up shared storage for the CP server database

1. Create a disk group containing the disks. You require two disks to create a mirrored volume.

   For example:

   # vxdg init cps_dg  disk1 disk2

2. Create a mirrored volume over the disk group.

   For example:

   # vxassist -g cps_dg make cps_vol volume_size layout=mirror

3. Create a file system over the volume.

   The CP server configuration utility only supports vxfs file system type. If you use an alternate file system, then you must configure CP server manually.

   Depending on the operating system that your CP server runs, enter the following command:

   Linux

   # mkfs -t vxfs /dev/vx/rdsk/cps_dg/cps_volume
