Question : folder & data creation on hdisk1 or hisk2

We have created 3 hdisks on an AIX 5.3 partition on a iSeries server.  Hdisk0 will be where the OS is loaded.  Hdisk1 and hdisk2 are for data and misc stuff.  When creating a folder and copying data, how do we do this so that the folder is created and the data copied to either hdisk1 or hdisk2?  Thanks for your help!

Answer : folder & data creation on hdisk1 or hisk2

Hi,

 During OS installation the installation routine will create (or will  have created) a volume group called rootvg consisting of hdisk0 containing the logical  volumes and filesystems pertaining to the OS (e.g. /, /usr, /var etc.)

 Next, you will have to decide whether to create an additional volume  group consisting of hdisk1 and hdisk2 to contain your data, or whether  to extend rootvg by hdisk1 and hdisk2 to place the data there.

 It's good and normal practice to create an additional volume group, so  I'd recommend doing it this way.

 The simplest way is to use "smitty mkvg" (choose "Scalable ...") to create the volume group and "smitty crfs" (choose "Enhanced...") to create filesystems along with their mountpoints (that's probably what you call "folder").

Should you need assistance with this, please let me know. I'll help you.
