Also, do not register a disk group containing an HDLM device in
bootdg.

.
If you are using Sun Cluster, register the created disk group into a Sun
Cluster disk device group.
For details, see
Linking VxVM and Solaris Cluster on page 3-174 .
Creating VxVM Volumes
A VxVM volume can be created by using the vxassist (or vxmake) command
or Veritas Enterprise Administrator. For details, refer to the VxVM
documentation.
Note
If you have created a volume for a disk group registered in Sun Cluster,
register the change made to the VxVM disk group configuration into Sun
Cluster. For details, see Linking VxVM and Solaris Cluster on page 3-174 .
When creating a VxVM volume, a block device file and character device file
for accessing volumes will be created:
• Block device file
/dev/vx/dsk/disk-group-name/volume-name
• Character device file
/dev/vx/rdsk/disk-group-name/volume-name
When creating a file system, mounting a file system, or specifying the layout
of a database using a raw partition, use the device file appropriate to each
situation.
In the following example, the commands create and mount a file system.
# newfs /dev/vx/rdsk/dlmdg/vol01
# mount /dev/vx/dsk/dlmdg/vol01 /mnt
Removing Devices from VxVM
VxVM uses HDLM devices to access LUs managed by HDLM. Therefore, you
must remove non-HDLM devices (such as sd or ssd devices), which
correspond to the LU, from VxVM management.
In this section, excluding devices from VxVM management is called removing
devices.
The following describes devices that must be removed from VxVM, and the
procedure for removing such devices.
