Creating a UFS raw partition on Solaris 10 LUN

I am trying to create a raw partition on a LUN running Solaris 10, after running a metainit, do I need to run a metattach? or newfs?

Thanks for the quick response.

What I'm trying to do is to connect a LUN slice to a metadevice for an Informix raw device.  I realize that I need to do a metainit to setup the metadevice, I just wasn't sure if I needed to do anything else after that.

if you are looking for raw partition then there is no need for newfs

Thanks again.

One last thing, do I need to do a metattach to grow the filesystem after I do a metainit?

why do you need to grow the partition now? you may do it later if you feel that the partition space is full and then you can grow it.
