Thank you all for your response.
It was decided to accelerate (like, right now) into production our current
testing/development of upgrade from z/VM3.1 to z/VM5.3 . It is a big
challenge to do it in such a short time.
Thanks again,

One problem I have now is, Yast/YOU does not offer the patch that is

Try this, before you do your mount:
echo 1 /sys/bus/ccw/devices/0.0.1200/readonly
(example where 1200 is your mdisk addr)

How do I move an existing LVM from one guest to another guest without
loosing any data?
In GUEST1, I'd like to unmount the filesystem, de-activate the LVM and CP
detach mdisks. And in GUEST2, I'd like to CP LINK the mdisks, activate the
LVM, and mount the filesystem.
Is this possible?
Thanks,
One issue is in a default SuSE9 install, the dasd= is not used in the
parmfile. If you add DASD and activate it via yast, the parmfile is not
touched; yast will happily adds the new DASD to /etc/fstab until the
/dev/dasdXX changes and then it won't boot.
To add confusion, SuSE9 also adds:

One other option is to link r/w the new DDR'd dasd to a running linux

Mike,
For SP1, I didn't try using Section 5.3.1 because my desktop linux yast
doesn't have Misc / Install Server.
So, I essentially setup a new folder for the SP1 CDs, like what I summarized

like. Repeating my SP1 install
