I have a dummy entry in the directory to define the MDISKS

Here is a snippet

USER MVSDUMMY NOLOG 512M 512M G                    
MDISK 9000 3390 0000 END UV9000 MWV ALL ALL ALL    
MDISK 9001 3390 0000 END UV9001 MWV ALL ALL ALL    
MDISK 9002 3390 0000 END UV9002 MWV ALL ALL ALL    
MDISK 9003 3390 0000 END UV9003 MWV ALL ALL ALL    
MDISK 9004 3390 0000 END UV9004 MWV ALL ALL ALL    
MDISK 9005 3390 0000 END UV9005 MWV ALL ALL ALL    
MDISK 9006 3390 0000 END UV9006 MWV ALL ALL ALL    
MDISK 9007 3390 0000 END UV9007 MWV ALL ALL ALL    
 . . . 

The UV9000 - UV9004 were predefined and accessible across all the guests and 
work fine.

I added UV9005-UV900F (only 5-7 are shown for brevity) 


The guests look like this 

USER R100 R100 8000M 12000M    (there are three guests)

LINK MVSDUMMY 9000 9000 MW  
LINK MVSDUMMY 9001 9001 MW  
LINK MVSDUMMY 9002 9002 MW  
LINK MVSDUMMY 9003 9003 MW  
LINK MVSDUMMY 9004 9004 MW  
LINK MVSDUMMY 9005 9005 MW  
LINK MVSDUMMY 9006 9006 MW  
LINK MVSDUMMY 9007 9007 MW  

I attached the new devices to the first guest, ran DSF to init the volumes and 
brought them online which was all good.

When the system was re-ipl’d the new devices didn’t con online and give the 
following message:

RESPONSE=R12F      IEE025I UNIT 9005     HAS NO LOGICAL  PATHS  

When “ATTached” they are accessible.  

The 9000 - 9004 come online with no intervention.

I’ll keep digging but this is where I’m at.

All systems have write access to the volumes.
