After Configuring HP-UX for the Disk Device
After configuring HP-UX for a disk device, you may complete the tasks
required to put it to use. These include:
• Setting up power fail capabilities for the disk or disk array.
• Setting up or modifying RAID levels for a disk array, if necessary.
• Adding a disk to an LVM volume group.
• Mirroring the disk.
• Defining logical volumes in LVM.
• Making the disk available for swapping.
• Creating or moving file systems onto the disk.
• Exporting the disk using NFS capabilities.
• Controlling access to the information on the disk.
• Controlling disk usage by implementing disk quotas.
• Integrating the disk into your backup strategy.
• Restoring data to the disk from other disks.
• Moving file systems to more equitably use your disk space.
• Arrange to mount file systems on the disk at boot up.
• Creating a recovery system for the data on the disk, particularly if
this is the root disk.
For these tasks, refer to information in the hardware manuals,
Managing Systems and Workgroups manual and the HP-UX Reference.
