Hi, are you running in a z/VM environment?
If yes... you attached the new DASDs to your system (usually by MAINT) Then you have to logoff and logon to your linux-guest again (NOT #cp disc). Then the new DASDs are known by the guest and can be formatted by the zLinux. (I dont know if you can do this without shutting down the Linux - I'm not a VM-guru ;-)) kind regards, Joachim Stumpf Datev eG Nuremberg - Germany > I am trying to add dasd volumes on SuSe Interprice Server 8, the > following is the status of theof my volumes, when I try to do > > fdasd /dev/dasdk i get the following Error > > lnx1:/boot/zipl # fdasd /dev/dasdk > > fdasd error: open error > Could not open device '/dev/dasdk' in read-only mode! > > When trying dasdfmt I get the following > > lnx1:/boot/zipl # dasdfmt -b 4096 -f /dev/dasdk > dasdfmt: Unable to open device /dev/dasdk: No such device > > 7240(none) at ( 94: 40) is dasdk : unknown > 7241(none) at ( 94: 44) is dasdl : unknown > 7242(none) at ( 94: 48) is dasdm : unknown > 7243(none) at ( 94: 52) is dasdn : unknown > 7244(none) at ( 94: 56) is dasdo : unknown > 7245(none) at ( 94: 60) is dasdp : unknown > 7246(none) at ( 94: 64) is dasdq : unknown > > Please assist > > Moloko Monyepao > OS390 System Programmer > arivia.kom > Tel : +27 11 800 3372 > > > NOTICE: Please note that this eMail, and the contents thereof, is > subject to the standard arivia.kom email disclaimer which may be found > at: http://www.arivia.co.za/disclaimer.htm.
