mount /mnt/jbod

example, the NO_HW entry is no longer listed:

AIX procedure
This procedure is not intended to be comprehensive. It provides a starting point from which a SAN
administrator can develop a site-specific procedure for a device that binds automatically by PID, and
cannot be rebooted due to uptime requirements.
1. Back up all data. Verify backups.
2. If you are not using multipathing software, stop all I/O going to all volumes connected through the
switch or fabric to be updated.
