Could it be that you just might need to refer to /dev/dasdb instead of /dev/dasdb1? You don't have any partitions on it after executing that CMS EXEC snippet.

Dave Myers <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent by: Linux on 390 Port <[email protected]> 16-02-05 21:51 Please respond to Linux on 390 Port To [email protected] cc Subject Need help with VDISK SWAP on SLES9 I can not get the VDISK SWAP to work at boot time on SLES9. I've read the posts on DIAG vs FBA. I'd be happy if I could just get FBA to work. Here's the part I don't understand....if I reissue /etc/init.d/boot.swap command after the system is up, then the commands in boot.swap do the trick.... I do see a message in the log at boot-up time that says device /dev/dasdb1 unknown... Is this a timing issue?
