Hello all. While we're on the subject of DASD today, I finally got my chpids to access the production dasd from the D/R machine z/VM 5.4 lpar. I tried to accept a big range, and maint hung up. I waited a half hour, then tried to force him. No joy. So I removed the dasd from the not accepted list, and IPL'd. The IPL took 5 minutes to get to the SALIPL Screen. When it came up, I tried to vary on a range of about 15 devices. Again, hung up maint. Wait 1/2 hour, IPL. Tried to vary on one device, and it worked! So I tried the next one, hung up my ID, and it's still sitting there 45 minutes later. Any ideas? Some sort of MIH setting? The SDMPlex is fine...not a whole lot of activity on these devices. I have 2 chpids online. I understand it's going to be slower, but this just won't work. :)
Thanks all! Mary Anne
