Creating a File System on a Virtual Disk
The newfs command is used for creating a UNIX file system (HFS) or a Veritas
File System (VxFS). Use the following procedure to create a file system on a
Virtual disk.
1. Create a VxFS file system using the following command:
newfs –F vxfs /dev/vg01/rlvol1
2. To view the virtual disk volume group, use the following command:
vgdisplay –v /dev/vg01
Mounting the File System
Use the following procedure to mount the file system:
1. Create a mount point. The following example uses mount point /data1.
# mkdir /data1
2. Mount the virtual disk:
# mount /dev/vg01/lvol1 /data1
3. To view the mounted file system, use the following command:
# bdf
The virtual disk is now available to the file system just as a disk device. The file
system cannot see the RAID functionality and number of physical devices
attached to the HSV110 controller. This device appears as a single virtual disk or
disk to the user as viewed by the file system.
