    Normally, I would now use the crfs command to create a JFS. (You could also
    use smitty to do this, if you prefer.)
    When the first JFS is created, LVM will automatically create a JFSlog in the
    volume group. Since you have used all of the partitions in your VG it will
    be unable to do this, so you cannot create a JFS.
    You might be able to create a JFS2, since that can have an in-line JFSlog,
    which is part of the main LV.

    For a normal JFS, first delete your LV, (rmlv), then re-create it, leaving
    one or more partitions - preferably on the outer edge of a disk if you're
    mirroring, or in the centre if you are not - for the JFSlog.
    Now, use the crfs command to create your JFS. It will automatically create
    a JFSlog, so you don't need to.
    Finally, mount the filesystem.

Holger,
Good Point. I scoured the documentation for anything that would tell me how
to change the state, but found nothing.
My problem may be the sequence of steps I am following in order to make
ready a filesystem for use.
Here's what I have done so far:
1]    Created a volume group. See details below:
2]    Created a logical volume. See details below:
3]    Please see attachment that shows the distribution of the logical
volume over the physical partitions. All 818 partitions are used.
        A question at this point - Do I need to create a jfslog logical
volume in this volume group?
4]    In order to achieve the final objective of mounting a filesystem on
these disks, what is the next required step?
            mkfs or crfs or something else?
