allocatefs utility: allocates drives for InfoPrint Manager for AIX file systems

Syntax

allocatefs [-d hdiskn] |  
allocatefs [-s volume_group] |
allocatefs [-f filesystem [hdiskn hdiskn [hdiskn...]]  |  
allocatefs -?

Description

Use the allocatefs utility to allocate drives and specify a volume group for the InfoPrint Manager for AIX file systems.

Flags

The allocatefs utility uses these flags:

-d
Specifies the drive you want InfoPrint to use when allocating the three shared file systems /var/psf, /var/psf/segments, and /var/pddir.
-s
Specifies an existing shared volume group you want InfoPrint to use when allocating the three shared file systems /var/psf, /var/psf/segments, and /var/pddir.

This presumes that the AIX administrator wants to put these shared file systems into a particular volume group.
