if you have time, can you check my work for me and make suggestions for
improvement, thanks a lot.

i have twelve 18g drives, here's the Setup Steps (LEN for an 18g may
not=34380800):

1.	vxdisksetup –I c2t2d0s2 c2t3d0s2 c2t4d0s2 c2t5d0s2 c2t8d0s2 c2t9d0s2
c3t2d0s2 c3t3d0s2 c3t4d0s2 c3t5d0s2 c3t8d0s2 c3t9d0s2
2.	vxdg init LAWSON_DG disk25=c2t2d0s2
3.	vxdg –g LAWSON_DG free
4.	vxdg –g LAWSON_DG adddisk disk31=c3t2d0s2
5.	#3 identifies the <size in sectors>, or the LEN value, of an 18g disk to
be used for each volume creation/config…
6.	vxdg –g LAWSON_DG  adddisk  disk26=c2t3d0s2  disk27=c2t4d0s2
disk28=c2t5d0s2  disk29=c2t8d0s2  disk30=c2t9d0s2  disk32=c3t3d0s2
disk33=c3t4d0s2  disk34=c3t5d0s2  disk35=c3t8d0s2  disk36=c3t9d0s2
7.	Vxmake –g LAWSON_DG  sd  disk25-01  offset=0  len=34380800  disk=disk25
8.	Vxmake –g LAWSON_DG  sd  disk31-01  offset=0 len=34380800  disk=disk31
9.	vxmake -g LAWSON_DG  plex  lawson2-01  sd=disk25-01
10.	vxmake -g LAWSON_DG  plex  lawson2-02  sd=disk31-01
11.	vxmake -g LAWSON_DG  -U  fsgen  vol  lawson2  plex=lawson2-01,lawson2-02
12.	vxvol -g  LAWSON_DG  start  lawson2
13.	newfs  /dev/vx/rdsk/LAWSON_DG/lawson2
14.	mkdir  /lawson2
15.	mount  /dev/vx/dsk/LAWSON_DG/lawson2  /lawson2
16.	vi /etc/vfstab and place new mount entry here.
