You can create any number of volume groups and they can be of any size but there are only 16 physical disks (36GB each). The OS striping would use 2 disks (72GB total) to create 1 volume group. This would leave me with 8 volume groups (72GB each). Are you implying breaking up the physical disks into groups??

Why is that? I don't understand -- doesn't your VM allow you to make any number of volume groups of any size? ____________________________________________________________________________ _________ Get more from the Web.
