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!

(CMS/CTR) (CTR) Sent: Sunday, August 03, 2008 9:49 PM To: [email protected] Subject: DASD Detached from SYSTEM after IPL on one LPAR but not the other 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
