I tried adding the volume vm8004 in the system config "cp owned volumes" but the result is the same. I tried attaching VM8004 manually but i can't acc 503 disk. The only way i can work around this problem is to reformat the disk again. but after the second ipl, VM8004 is not mounted again. Not sure what i am missing. is there something basic that i am forgetting to do here. Thanks. Caleb
