If you specified the name of a disk group that does not already exist, vxdiskadm
prompts for confirmation that you really want to create this new disk group:
There is no active disk group named disk group name.
Create a new group named disk group name? [y,n,q,?]
(default: y)y
You are then prompted to confirm whether the disk group should support
the Cross-platform Data Sharing (CDS) feature:
Create the disk group as a CDS disk group? [y,n,q,?]
(default: n)
If the new disk group may be moved between different operating system
platforms, enter y. Otherwise, enter n.

At the following prompt, either press Return to accept the default disk name
or enter n to allow you to define your own disk names:
Use default disk names for the disks? [y,n,q,?] (default: y) n

When prompted whether the disks should become hot-relocation spares,
enter n (or press Return):
Add disks as spare disks for disk group name? [y,n,q,?]
(default: n) n

When prompted whether to exclude the disks from hot-relocation use, enter
n (or press Return).
Exclude disks from hot-relocation use? [y,n,q,?}
(default: n) n

You are next prompted to choose whether you want to add a site tag to the
disks:
Add site tag to disks? [y,n,q,?] (default: n)
A site tag is usually applied to disk arrays or enclosures, and is not required
unless you want to use the Remote Mirror feature.
If you enter y to choose to add a site tag, you are prompted to the site name
at step 11.
