加入一块新的磁盘，你需要选择出，哪一种方式更合适：“1”（初始化），或者“2”（封装）。对于我们即将使用的磁盘，我选择“初始化”。

在初始化之前，执行一下”list”操作是一个好主意，确认Veritas也能“看”到这些磁盘。只需要输入”list”，输出如下：

----------------------------------------------------------------
List disk information
Menu: VolumeManager/Disk/ListDisk

Use this menu operation to display a list of disks. You can
also choose to list detailed information about the disk at
a specific disk device address.

Enter disk device or "all" [<address>,all,q,?] (default: all) all

DEVICE DISK   GROUP  STATUS
c0t0d0   -      -    error
c0t1d0   -      -    error
c2t0d0 disk01 rootdg online
c2t1d0 disk02 rootdg online
c2t2d0 disk03 rootdg online
c2t6d0   -      -    online

Device to list in detail [<address>,none,q,?] (default: none)

上面输出中，磁盘t0,t1,t2已经被初始化了，所以它们都有磁盘名。但是，我没有初始化c2t6d0.(再次重申，Veritas不关心分区情况，因此在设备名中没有sX)。下面是用”vxdiskadm”初始化磁盘的全部输出，选项1。这可能需要较长时间，但它是简洁有用的。

Add or initialize disks
Menu: VolumeManager/Disk/AddDisks

Use this operation to add one or more disks to a disk group. You can
add the selected disks to an existing disk group or to a new disk group
that will be created as a part of the operation. The selected disks may
also be added to a disk group as spares. The selected disks may also
be initialized without adding them to a disk group leaving the disks
available for use as replacement disks.

More than one disk or pattern may be entered at the prompt. Here are
some disk selection examples:

all: all disks
c3 c4t2: all disks on both controller 3 and controller 4, target 2
c3t4d2: a single disk

Select disk devices to add:
[<pattern-list>,all,list,q,?] list

DEVICE DISK   GROUP   STATUS
c0t0d0 -       -      error
c0t1d0 -       -      error
c2t0d0 disk01 rootdg online
c2t1d0 disk02 rootdg online
c2t2d0 disk03 rootdg online
c2t6d0 disk04 rootdg online
