Bernard, > and what if volume 2061 is a 3390 mod 9 , which can hold several mini > disks. What do I do then ? By chance are you mixing up virtual and real addresses? Are 2500-2505 and 2061 real addresses?
If you are using MDISKs and not DEDICATEs in your user directory entry (which I think most would agree is recommended), then the minidisks become the virtual addresses that you want to put in zipl.conf. If you're using DEDICATEs, then you can partition the mod-9 with fdasd, but only into a maximum of 3 more disks (dasd<x>1, dasd<x>2 and dasd<x>3), but again partitioning with Mindisks is preferred. You want to list the order of the minidisks in /etc/zipl.conf so as to correspond with the file systems in /etc/fstab. So preserve the order of /dev/dasda1, /dev/dasdb1, ... that you installed with. So if you installed onto let's say 100, 101 and 102, and added a logical volume using 2500-2505 you will want "dasd=100-102,2500-2505" (of course condisering the above discussion on real vs. virtual addresses). Hope this helps.
