Hello Peter,

As requested, I issued a cat /proc/s390dbf/cip_msg/sprintf >
cio_msg.txt (/tmp doesn't exist (yet)).

When I cat cio_msg.txt | more, I see the following:

00 01163006499:983853 0 - 00 00263b0e  Detected device 0CF0 on
subchannel 03AE -
 PIM = FF, PAM = FF, POM = FF

0CF0 - 0CFF are mi DASD drives.  This is a good sign.  Later in the
file, I find:

00 01163006499:996152 0 - 00 0026b7ae  ccw_device_path_notoper(03ae) -
path(s) 8
0 are not operational
00 01163006499:996156 2 - 00 0026ab14  SenseID : path 80 for device
0cf0 on subc
hannel 03ae is 'not operational'

This is not a good sign.  The rest of the cio_msg.txt file is basically
various versions of the above two messages for different paths for all
the DASD.


Thanks,
Dave

The fact that the DASD device numbers don't show up in the /sys
directory indicates that Linux does not know about them at all.
Unless you explicitly told Linux to leave those devices
alone by specifying the 'cio_ignore=' parameter on the kernel
command line (can be checked by issuing 'cat /proc/cmdline'),
this is a strong indication of a configuration mismatch outside
of Linux (LPAR, storage server, etc).

Unfortunately my experience with IOCP/IOCDS and storage server
configuration is rather limited. Maybe someone on the list with
more knowledge in these areas can help you out.

P.S.: There's one more approach to gathering information about
the source of the problem you are seeing via Linux: please
perform the following command and send me the resulting file
/tmp/cio_msg.txt off-list.

cat /proc/s390dbf/cio_msg/sprintf > /tmp/cio_msg.txt
