I am working on SLES9 SP3 s390x under zVM 5.2 trying to migrate from ECKD
to zFCP/SCSI.

Has anyone setup the '/' root filesystem to be multipath-tools and LVM with
SLES9 SP3 ?

I have setup three SCSI devices. One for /boot, one for the '/' filesystem,
and a third one with individual LVM filesystems.

/boot is it's own small SCSI device.

I have the main '/' filesystem as a separate SCSI multipath/lvm device
(/bin , /sbin, /dev, /etc, /mnt, /proc,  /root, /srv, /sys, /lib, /lib64)

These directories are on another SCSI device multipath-tools device with
individual LVM filesystems: (/opt, /home, /usr, /tmp, /var).

I get this message during the SCSI IPL:
