NOTE: go to the AIX command prompt
$ oem_setup_env
# ( now you can run AIX commands)
scan for new lun to create vg
#cfgmgr
#lspv
It will display new hdisk
Create app_vg and LVs in this VG ( LVs naming convention should be as lpar names )
comeout of the # prompt
Create virtual devices to map all LPARs according to their respective vhost adapters.
