Mark, Like were most people ... I like this one: - or add a dasd=dasd-list in their kernel parameters because then you can go to /etc/zipl.conf to see which disks (or disks and slots) the system is supposed to have. And if you do leave slots open, you can add DASD more easily. Mike

Okay, this is really a better way (and easy!). Thanks. Stefan Ouch, you don't want to do that. DEFINE MDISK is intended for a privileged user to bypass the table of real minidisks and just carve out any extent at all from a device. Dangerous stuff and rarely needed. Take that OPTION DEVMAINT
