Your zipl plan should work. As for the VOLSER, I've never seen a way to change the volser. I don't believe Linux cares what it is. I always thought it was so MVS could see the dasd properly. I would think if you change it from MVS, Linux shouldn't care. It will just notice the new VOLSER the next time it starts.

I can't address the volume label issues. Of course, that only applies if you chose cdl (or let it default) during dasdfmt processing.

Running RH 7.2 in an LPAR. The dasd addresses will be changing... is it enough to update /etc/zipl.conf with the new addresses (like parameters="root=/dev/dasda1 dasd=6B40-6B43,6BC0-6BC3"), and rerun zipl before the last shutdown? So the next time the LPAR is activated it will come up using the new addresses? Also, is there a way to find out what the VOLSER's will look like to an MVSish system? I think the format during install may have tied the label to the address of the volume. Is there a way to change the label from the linux side without losing data? If after linux is shutdown, they are changed on the MVS side, will that affect linux startup? Linux-z/OS DFSMSdss Dump/Restore-HOWTO says something about fdasd expecting the 24th character (type) to be an 'N' or 'S', but no other restrictions were mentioned. I'd like to change the labels to something more generic than the volume address.
