Greetings;
Ignore the part about mdisk. That is used for a disk format that is only
available under VM. For your purposes add the 201-203 on the end of your
current dasd= parm and you should be OK.
Good Luck!

Subject: LINUX under VM newbie question
We getting ready to convert from running LINUX in LPAR mode to running
under zVM. In researching this conversion, I have an unanswered question;
In the "Building Linux Systems under IBM VM" Appendix A. Creating a new
disk on Linux/390 gives an example of a parmfile and changes needed to add
a minidisk, 205, to a Linux image;
dasd=0200,0201,0202,0205 root=/dev/dasdb1 noinitrd
>From the "LINUX for S/390: Device Drivers and Installation Commands" -
LNUX-1003-02, Chapter 2. LINUX for S/390 VM minidisk device driver, implies
that the parmfile should have a "mdisk=" parameter.
If I want ot use the same device numbers of the volumes of dasd my linux
images is currently using and I want like to add access to 3 minidisk,
201-203, My current parmfile looks like this;
dasd=05C1,05C0,05C2-05C3 root=/dev/dasdb1 noinitrd
Would it need to be changed to;
dasd=05C1,05C0,05C2-05C3 mdisk=201-203 root=/dev/dasdb1 noinitrd
or
dasd=05C1,05C0,05C2-05C3,201-203 root=/dev/dasdb1 noinitrd
Confused,
Sterling James
