Hi Mark, We will be doing all LVM actually for this 120g one PV with three lv's
We have FCP but it was decided here to not use the SAN at all and just 3390's ... so there will be a lot of this ... we are building out a new Pilot area so we are stuck with mod3's now ... later I've told them we Must have mod 3's .. 9's .. 27's .. and 54's . It was stated that 3390 would be better than san for us and out of region DR stuff ... So what I did to day was put them online, format, fdasd , update modprobe and zipl ... so they are ready .. next we can lvm them up ...

Paul, Does that have to be one 120GB file system? If so, that means using LVM, which means you will only be running mke2fs once, and updating /etc/fstab once. If you foresee this happening more than once, you might be better off getting management to pay for an FCP adapter so you can hook up to the open systems side of a storage array.
