How to configure new hdisk such that it has a gpfs fs on it and is added to a running gpfs cluster?

Hi,

I have a running GPFS cluster. For one every mountpoint that i have created i have one disk assigned to it. That disk is converted to an NSD and is a part of the GPFS Cluster.

Now i have a new disk and there is this requirement to add it to the GPFS cluster, such that this becomes an NSD. And has a GPFS filesystem on it. How to do it? It is not a production system so I can shutdown the cluster as well

Regards.
