Did you add the device by echoing to /proc/dasd/devices? I can never remember the syntax so I drag around the dasd script described in the Large Scale Deployment redbook: # cat `which dasd` #!/bin/sh # dasd - simple utility for dynamic DASD management if [ "$1" = "add" -a "$2" != "" ]; then echo "add range=$2" > /proc/dasd/devices elif [ "$1" = "on" -a "$2" != "" ]; then echo "set device range=$2 on" > /proc/dasd/devices elif [ "$1" = "off" -a "$2" != "" ]; then echo "set device range=$2 off" > /proc/dasd/devices elif [ "$1" = "list" ]; then cat /proc/dasd/devices else echo "Usage: dasd add|on|off vdev_or_range" 1>&2 echo " dasd list" 1>&2 exit 2 fi Then you can use the script to add the DASD. For example "dasd add 300-302". The do "dasd list" to see it. Then dasdfmt should work. For across IPLs you'll want to add the minidisk addresses to zipl.conf and run zipl. -Mike MacIsaac, IBM mikemac at us.ibm.com (845) 433-7061 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For LINUX-390 subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: INFO LINUX-390 or visit http://www.marist.edu/htbin/wlvindex?LINUX-390
