Thanks all for the information. It turned out that I had an entry in my
production SYSCONFIG that did not reflect the name of the MDISKS. I
changed the names and forgot to change the SYSCONFIG entry.

 

I had USER_VOLUME_INCLUDE LNX* and it should have been
USER_VOLUME_INCLUDE LNP* for the first three characters of the MDISKS in
the Linux hosts.

 

Thanks again!

 

 

 

Thank You,

While in the system config insure that the volume address is not in the
vary off range.

Look in your system config file you used to IPL your production system
and make sure there are values for all your user volumes which cause
them to be attached to your system at IPL time

 

They will look something like this, I use wild cards because we have a
naming convention associated with each LPAR

 

USER_VOLUME_INCLUDE VP*

USER_VOLUME_INCLUDE DB*

USER_VOLUME_INCLUDE M2D*

USER_VOLUME_INCLUDE EC*

USER_VOLUME_EXCLUDE M2D9%%

 

Hope this helps

Hi

 

I IPL'ed both of my z/VM 5.3 LPARS on Sunday. After the VAL/DEV LPAR was
brought up I started to logon and IPL the Linux guests. I had no
problems on this LPAR. 

 

Now, after I IPL'ed the PROD LPAR I started to bring up the PROD Linux
guests. This time when I logged on the guests the guest could not access
any of the MDISKS assigned to it. I looked and found that all of the
MDISKS were no longer attached to SYSTEM. I know these were attached on
Friday because I brought all of the Linux guests up without a problem.
It seems that they were detached during the IPL. On the VAL/DEV LPAR the
MDISKS for the Linux guests stayed attached to SYSTEM after the IPL.

 

Does anyone know why the MDISKS were detached from the SYSTEM on my PROD
LPAR after the IPL?

 

Thanks, Terry
