I am new to the Group, and I am trying to get Linux up in it's own LPAR.
I downloaded all the files from the Marist site and
created the BootTape. When I IPL the dasd seems to be known but I get
the message :
6>dasd:0D50 not enabled due to probeonly mode
<6>dasd:0D51 not enabled due to probeonly mode
<6>dasd:0D52 not enabled due to probeonly mode
<6>dasd:0D53 not enabled due to probeonly mode
<6>dasd:0D54 not enabled due to probeonly mode
<6>dasd:0D55 not enabled due to probeonly mode
<6>dasd:0D56 not enabled due to probeonly mode
<6>dasd:0D57 not enabled due to probeonly mode
<6>dasd:0D58 not enabled due to probeonly mode
<6>dasd:0D59 not enabled due to probeonly mode
<6>dasd:0D5A not enabled due to probeonly mode
<6>dasd:0D5B not enabled due to probeonly mode
<6>dasd:0D5C not enabled due to probeonly mode
<6>dasd:0D5D not enabled due to probeonly mode
<6>dasd:0D5E not enabled due to probeonly mode
<6>dasd:0D5F not enabled due to probeonly mode
<6>channel: no Channel devices recognized
I have checked and I see the devices built in the /dev directory for
the dasda,dasda1......dasdh,dasdh1.
When I try and do the lowlevel format I get different results :
[root@linux01 /sbin]# dasdfmt -v -b 4096 /dev/dasdg
dasdfmt: device to format not specified
[root@linux01 /sbin]# dasdfmt -v -b 4096 /dev/dasda -n 0d50
dasdfmt: failed to find device in the /proc filesystem (are you sure to have
th)
When I look in /proc/dasd/devices all I see is the header. I tried to put
my dasd in the file but kept on getting I/O errors.
I guess I cannot write to that file.
Has anyone fought this dragon before, I am at a loss as how to get the
dasd formated and partitioned, so I can get this system up possibly show
some of our people that the Mainframe isn't dead it is just taking on a new
improved form.
