Hello, I am having trouble with setting up volumes with Veritas in a
Sun Cluster 3.0 environment. This was all set up before I got here and
it was not right. There was 4 36g disks in an array and it only had
around 68g useble. It was set with 3 columns instead of 4. Also, the
disk group was in deported state. I deleted the volume and distroyed
the diskgroup. Then I recreated the disk group and volume. The problem
is when I try to use newfs to put a ufs on the volume it does not
recongnize it. The volume is in
/dev/vx/rdsk/{diskgroupname}/{volumename} ! Also the volume that I
distroyed is there too. How can I get the volume to take a new file
system?

With veritas are you using vxassist on the command line.

vxassist -g (diskgroup) make (volname) (size)

Some other useful veritas commands

vxprint -t (volname)

vxdg list

vxdg list (diskgroup)


Hope these commands help and get you on your way.
