Hello, all. We're working on trying to save DASD by migrating a number of our systems over to basevol/guestvol , per the HowTo at http://linuxvm.org/Info/HOWTOs/basevol9.html . We have already migrated three of our Linux guests over to be guestvol systems; the migration was fairly painless and the extra mini-disk DASD (203 seen as /dev/dasdd1 mounted to /wasprofiles, for example) attached without a major glitch.
We have a few systems that are using SVC LUNs that attach to Linux through ZFCP, however, and we're running into a couple of issues: 1) I will add the LUN to the guestvol system through YaST with the same WWPN and LUN number as the "old" system, and get a smaller LUN than both SVC and the "old" system expect. i.e. I mount /dev/sda1 on the guestvol system and see a 5GB LUN, but SVC says it's a 6GB LUN, and it is if I boot to the "old" system and mount it there. 2) If I add the LUN to the guestvol system through YaST and reboot, the LUN information is lost. Obviously, this isn't good. :) Anyone out there doing both basevol/guestvol and ZFCP?
