76 HP StorageWorks Disk Array XP Operating System Configuration Guide: HP-UX
Setting the maximum number of volume groups
using SAM
The HP-UX kernel specifies the maximum number of volume groups that
can be created. The default is 10. You may need to change this number to
accommodate new devices on the disk array. To change this number, use
the Kernel Configuration function.
To change the maximum number of volume groups:
1. Select the Kernel Configuration function, then select Configurable
Parameters.
2. In the Configurable Parameters window, select the maxvgs
parameter, select the Actions menu, and then select Modify
Configurable Parameter.
3. In the Modify Configurable Parameter window, enter the desired
maximum number of volume groups in the Formula/Value field, and
then click OK.
4. In the Configurable Parameters window, make sure that none of the
parameters are selected. Then select the Actions menu, and select
Create New Kernel.
5. When the configuration window opens, click Yes to create the new
kernel (or click No to return to the Configurable Parameters window.)
6. When the Reboot the System window opens, click OK to move the
new kernel into place and reboot the system.
