3.12 Creating File Systems for HDLM (When Volume Management

Software Is Not Used)

When volume management software is not used, the file system directly uses HDLM

devices.
This section describes how to mount an HDLM-managed device as a UFS file system

by specifying the name of the logical device file for an HDLM device. If you want to

use an HDLM device as a ZFS file system, you can create a ZFS file system by

executing a ZFS command with an HDLM logical device file name specified.
After installing HDLM, the ZFS file system that was exported before the installation

can be imported for use.
To mount the HDLM-managed device as a file system:
1.

Create a file system by using an HDLM device.
If the file system already exists, skip to step 2.
The following shows an example of the command that is used to create a file

system:

# newfs /dev/rdsk/c2t7d16s0

2.

Create a directory on which to mount the file system.
Execute a command such as the following:

# mkdir

mount-point

3.

Mount the file system.
Execute a command such as the following:

# mount -F ufs /dev/dsk/c2t7d16s0

mount-point

4.

Enable automatic mounting.
To automatically mount the HDLM-managed device when the host starts, edit the

/etc/vfstab

file.

Execute the following command to display the current setting:

# mount -p

Figure 3-19: An output example for the mount -p command shows an output

example of the command.
