• sliced —the public and private regions are on different disk
partitions.
• simple —the public and private regions are on the same disk area
(with the public area following the private area).

subdisks).
NOTE For HP-UX 11i, disks (except the root disk) are treated and accessed as
entire physical disks, so a device name of the form c # t # d # is used. On
HP-UX 11i Version 1.5, the root disk is on partition 2, c # t # d # s2.
The full pathname of a device is /dev/vx/dmp/ devicename. In this
document, only the device name is listed and /dev/vx/dmp is assumed.
The disk name (sometimes referred to as disk media name) is an
administrative name for the disk, such as disk01. If you do not assign a
disk name, the disk name defaults to disk ## if the disk is being added to
rootdg (where ## is a sequence number). Otherwise, the default disk
name is groupname## , where groupname is the name of the disk group to
which the disk is added. Your system may use a device name that differs
from the examples.
