Veritas Volume Manager 5.0.1 Administrator's Guide, HP-UX 11i v3, First Edition, November 2009

■ On one node, run the vxdiskadm program and choose option 1 to initialize new
disks. When asked to add these disks to a disk group, choose none to leave the
disks for future use.
■ On other nodes in the cluster, run vxdctl enable to see the newly initialized
disks.
■ From the master node, create disk groups on the shared disks. To determine
if a node is a master or slave, run the command vxdctl -c mode.
■ Use the vxdg command or VEA to create disk groups. If you use the vxdg
command, specify the -s option to create shared disk groups.
■ From the master node only, use vxassist or VEA to create volumes in the disk
groups.
■ If the cluster is only running with one node, bring up the other cluster nodes.
Enter the vxdg list command on each node to display the shared disk groups.
