The output should look similar to the following:
VOLUME GROUP:sharedvgVG IDENTIFIER:
0002997f00004c00000000ec959cb382
VG STATE: active PP SIZE: 32megabyte(s)
VG PERMISSION: read/write TOTAL PPs: 31(992 megabytes)
MAX LVs: 256 FREE PPs: 31(992 megabytes)
LVs: 0 USED PPs: 0(0 megabytes)
OPEN LVs: 0 QUORUM: 2

ACTIVE PVs: 1 AUTO ON:yes
MAX PPs per PV:1016MAX PVs:32
LTG size:128 kilobyte(s)AUTO SYNC:no
HOT SPARE:no
In this case, the number of FREE PPs is 31. Use the number of FREE PPs
minus 1 because there needs to be 1 PP free to create a filesystem. The
arguments to mklv can and will vary. Use arguments that are appropriate to
the purpose of your device.
9. Create a volume group using a command similar to:
mklv -y sharedlv sharedvg 30
10. Create a filesystem on the logical volume. In this case, create a filesystem that
spans the whole disk. This is not mandatory.
Use a command similar to:
crfs -v jfs -d sharedlv -m /sharedfs
Note: The arguments to crfs can and will vary. Use arguments that are appropriate
to the purpose of the filesystem.
11. Quickly mount and unmount the filesystem at its mount point to ensure that
the filesystem has been correctly made.
mount /sharedfs
umount /sharedfs
12. Change the volume group so that it does not autovaryon at boot time:
chvg -a n sharedvg
13. Deactivate the volume group so that it can be imported by the other node:
varyoffvg sharedvg
14. On node miranda, execute the importvg command to get the volume group
definition from the device itself:
