Rebooting after vxinstall

After you have specified how vxinstall should process all of the disks attached to your system, you must reboot the system to make changes to your disk partitioning that cannot be made while your disks are in use.

Several reboots may be required, depending on the setup you chose. When it is necessary to shut down and reboot your system, vxinstall displays a message:

   The system now must be shut down and rebooted in order
   to continue the reconfiguration.
   
   Shutdown and reboot now [y,n,q,?] (default: n)

If this happens, respond in either of the following ways:

Enter y to begin an immediate shutdown.
Enter n to cause vxinstall to exit without starting a shutdown. Remember to shutdown and reboot as soon as possible.

NOTE: During the next one or more reboots, you may be asked several times if you wish to continue an operation. Press the <Enter> key at all of these prompts to accept the default answer. If you select a different answer from the default for any of these prompts, or press q, the initialization may fail.
