Adding or changing a file system configuration
Adding a new file system or changing an existing one are similar actions in that the same information is needed for both.
IMPORTANT: Renaming or changing the disk file system structure causes the old file system on that disk to be lost.
To add or change any of the file system configurations, use the following steps:
1.Select a file system from the list. To view all of the available information for the file system, you can use the horizontal and vertical scroll bars, or resize the dialog box.
2.Enter or change information using the following buttons or fields, and then click Add or Modify. You will lose your changes if you move to another tab without clicking Add or Modify.
Usage: Click the selection list button adjacent to Usage: to choose from the list of file system usage types. The available choices are HFS, VxFS, SWAP, Unused, DUMP, and SWAP+DUMP. In general, HP recommends the use of VxFS.
Group: Click the selection list button adjacent to Group: to select the appropriate volume group name for the selected file system.
To add a new/unused disk and give it a different volume group name or create a new volume group, use the Add/Remove Disks... button.
If you want to reconfigure the volume group in general, including renaming it, click Additional Tasks and then select Group Parameters to supply a custom group name and to change other disk parameters.
