Configure the disk array devices in the same way you would configure any

new disk on the host server. Creating scripts to configure all devices at once

may save you considerable time.

Use the initialize command to format each disk array volume and write an

identifying label on it:

$ init $1$dga100 testscsi

Use the mount command to mount and identify each disk array volume:

$ mount $1$dga100 testscsi

1. Use the show device d command to list the devices:

$ show device dg

2. Create a test user directory:

$ create/directory $1$dga100:[user]

This command creates a user directory name USER at the top level of

the newly added volume $1$DGA100.

3. Verify that this directory exists:

$ set default $1$dga100:[user]

$ show default

$1$dga100:[user]

If the user directory does not exist, Open VMS returns an error.
