Hi,

The following commands are used to create the volume(s) and filesystem ,
right now we are below 2 TB since we

we unable to create 2 TB filesystem. we are now using 2 x 1.5 TB
filesystems.

bash-2.05b# mkdir /dev/vg01

bash-2.05b# mknod /dev/vg01/group c 64 0x010000

bash-2.05b# pvcreate -f /dev/rdsk/c5t12d0

Physical volume "/dev/rdsk/c5t12d0" has been successfully created.

bash-2.05b# pvcreate -f /dev/rdsk/c5t12d1

Physical volume "/dev/rdsk/c5t12d1" has been successfully created.

bash-2.05b# vgcreate -e 30000 -s 256 vg01 /dev/dsk/c5t12d0 /dev/dsk/c5t12d1

Volume Group configuration for /dev/vg01 has been saved in
/etc/lvmconf/vg01.conf

bash-2.05b# lvcreate -L 1430272 /dev/vg01

Logical volume "/dev/vg01/lvol1" has been successfully created with

character device "/dev/vg01/rlvol1".

Logical volume "/dev/vg01/lvol1" has been successfully extended.

Volume Group configuration for /dev/vg01 has been saved in
/etc/lvmconf/vg01.conf

bash-2.05b# lvcreate -L 1430272 /dev/vg01

Logical volume "/dev/vg01/lvol2" has been successfully created with
