Hello Beena, try to use dasdfmt before the fdasd against the volumes where the problem occurs.

I am at the stage where I am partitioning the DASD with fdasd. I used command "n" to create the new partitions and when I issue command "p", I see the partitions. I then use command "w" to exit but I find that the partitioning is lost. The Release Notes seem to indicate that this may happen for DASD that has never previously been initialized with CDL or LDL and said that a re-IPL will fix the problem. I re-IPLed and had the same problem. Is there something else that need to be done? Thanks, Beena
