SCSI requires the real fdisk and is not a link to fdasd. Under z/VM 4.4 you will be able to boot off SCSI disks.
Neale -----Original Message----- You mentioned using an fdisk symlink to access fdasd. This seems kinda strange to me. Doesn't fdasd try to create ibm partitions ... format 1 dscbs? Does this make sense on a scsi disk? I guess you want a vtoc and named datasets for backup to a zOS but heck ... this just doesn't seem right. I mean if you have a vtoc for the dscbs then you also have a couple of ipl records and a vtoc record ... on a scsi disk?? Strange. I would have thought that the scsi disks would have used some other partitioning scheme ... I think Neil's share paper even said they needed MDDOS partition support configured ... so I am a bit confused. Oh yea ... can you boot off a scsi disk (which would be saying that it has ipl records) ?
