Sue, I think you'll need to use "dasd_configure" on sles 11. I'm not quite that far yet, but that's what I remember and since no one else has answered yet... :)

The first is read only, the second is read-write. I tried running mkinitrd & zipl like I would for sles10, but it doesn't seem to be working. Mkinitrd is only writing 6 or 8 lines to the console (it writes almost a screen full on sles10), and it seems to be changing the disk identifier from dasdc & dasdd to dasda or dasdb so that /etc/fstab ends up being correct for the current ipl, but not the next. I guess zipl is working, at least the system seems to boot. If I run mkinitrd & zipl manually, the new disks don't seem to be picked up and added to the dasd configuration so they are avail for the next ipl. If I use yast->hardware->dasd to activate them, then the dasd id is changed, and the disks seem to be varied online at the next ipl. How do I get the dasd added and mounted at each ipl? Can I add dasd without using yast and if so how? What commands do I need to run? Problem #2 - When I try to run yast2, I get an error message that Xlib: extension "RANDR" missing on display "localhost:10.0" along with a bunch of other messages. I thought I saw something about Gnome in an earlier error message, and I did not install either Gnome of KDE since I was doing a z/linux install, and neither of these have worked very well on previous sles versions. yast seems to work so far, but I much prefer yast2. Can anyone shed any light on either of these problems?
