Use disk init to create a private device. disk init includes an optional instance parameter that marks the device private to an instance.
This example creates a device named private_dev1 that is private to the cluster1_1 instance:
disk init name = "private_dev1", physname = "/usr/u/sybase/data/private_dev1.dat", vdevno = 2, size = 5102, instance = "cluster1_1"
You can execute a disk init command from any of the instances in the cluster. The command is shipped to the owning instance internally. The owning instance, however, must be up and running to process the command. If it is not, the command fails and the private device is not created.
