After configuring HP-UX for a disk device, you may complete the tasks required to put it to use. These include:

  • Setting up powerfail capabilities for the disk or disk array.

  • Setting up or modifying RAID levels for a disk array, if necessary.

  • Adding a disk to an LVM volume group.

  • Mirroring the disk.

  • Defining logical volumes in LVM.

  • Making the disk available for swapping.

  • Creating or moving file systems onto the disk.

  • Exporting the disk using NFS capabilities.

  • Controlling access to the information on the disk.

  • Controlling disk usage by implementing disk quotas.

  • Integrating the disk into your backup strategy.

  • Restoring data to the disk from other disks.

  • Moving file systems to more equitably use your disk space.

  • Arrange to mount file systems on the disk at bootup.

  • Creating a recovery system for the data on the disk, particularly if this is the root disk.

For these tasks, refer to information in the hardware manuals, HP-UX System Administration Tasks manual and the HP-UX Reference.
