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.
