Adding the device to the directory and issuing the DIRECTXA does not get the device online to a running server. If you defined the device as a minidisk you need to logon to the vm userid of the server and issue #cp link * addr addr addr is what you defined the device as. If the device was defined as a special you would issue Attach rdev to userid as vdev Rdev is the real device addressw and vdev is the address on the linux server. Then you have to bring the device online to linux. Not sure about RedHat but on SuSE the command would be chccwdev -e 0.0.addr Then configure the device with dasd_configure 0.0.addr 1 0
