* Assuming you have Veritas software installed on your platform correctly.*
I performed the following operations on Sun Fire V480 (Solaris10 Sparc) with Sun T3 storage.
Checking the current vxfs information
#df -k
#format </dev/null -- show detailed all disks info
#vxprint -ht
#vxdg list
#vxdisk list
Using 'vxdiskadm' to create a new dg
#vxdiskadm
Enter the disk name:cxxdxxtxx
Enter the disk group name: namedg
Next...
Verifying if the dg has been created
#vxdg list
#vxprint -ht
#vxdisk list
Creating a new volume
#vxassist -g YOUR_DG make VOLUME_NAME SIZE
Example: #vxassist -g SITE2dg make archive 10g
Verifying the new volume
#vxprint -ht
Creating the vxfs file system
#mkfs -F vxfs -o bsize=2048 /dev/vx/rdsk/YOUR_DG/VOLUME_NAME
Example: #mkfs -F vxfs -o bsize=2048 /dev/vx/rdsk/SITE2/archive
Creating the destination folders
#mkdir /oracle/archive
#mkdir /oracle/data01
#mkdir /oracle/data02
#mkdir /oracle/data03
#mkdir /oracle/home
#mkdir /oracle/redo
Editing the /etc/vfstab if you want to mount vxfs file system automatically when OS startup
An example of /etc/vfstab on Solaris 10 Sparc
#device device mount FS fsck mount mount
#to mount to fsck point type pass at boot options
