mkfs /dev/device_namepartition_number

where device_name is the pseudo device name for the virtual disk and partition_number is the partition number.

For example:

For an ext2 file system type: mkfs /dev/emcpowera1

For an ext3 file system type: mkfs -j /dev/emcpowera1

For a reiser file system type: mkreiserfs -h r5 /dev/emcpowera1

STEP 6. When prompted to confirm the construction of a new file system, enter Y and press ENTER. STEP 7. Create a mount directory for the file system:

mkdir / mount_point

For example:

mkdir /mnt/emcpowera

where /mnt/emcpowera is the complete path for the new file system. STEP 8. Mount the file system. For a non-network file system:

mount -t file_system_type/device_partition_name mount_point

For example:

mount -t ext2 /dev/emcpowera1 /mnt/emcpowera

or

mount -t ext3 /dev/emcpowera1 /mnt/emcpowera

These commands mount the partition /dev/emcpowera1 onto the mount point /mnt/emcpowera as the file system type specified. If you prefer, you can mount the file system automatically at boot time by adding this information to the /etc/fstab file. The following is an example of an /etc/fstab file entry for a PowerPath device:

/dev/emcpowera1 /mnt/emcpowera1 ext2 default 0 0

STEP 9. Save the server s PowerPath configuration:

powermt save

This command creates the powermt.ctm configuration file.
