To create a new disk group under Veritas, you can either:

1.  Create a new disk group via the /usr/bin/vxdiskadd utility when adding 
    disks to Veritas control

OR 

2.  Run the following commands::

        vxdisksetup -i c#t#d# [privlen=10240] # add disk to vxvm 
        vxdg init ${Group} ${disk}=c#t#d#
        vxdg -g ${Group} adddisk ${disk}+1=c#t#d# # iterate foreach disk

For example, to create a new disk group, doug, and add three disks to it::

    for disk in c3t0d0 c3t0d1 c3t0d2
    do
       vxdisksetup -i ${disk} # Uses default private area length
    done
    
    vxdg init doug doug01=c3t0d0
    for x in 1 2
    do
       y=((x+1))
       vxdg -g doug adddisk doug0${y}=c3t0d${x}
    done
