Did you use the "Enable FTP Access to Mass Storage Media" function of the HMC? Is your HMC on the same network as the OSA port that you're trying to use? Or is your HMC isolated or protected with a firewall? The HMC has to be told what host IP will be accessing the disk or it will not work. -- Bruce Hayden Linux on System z Advanced Technical Support IBM, Endicott, NY ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For LINUX-390 subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO LINUX-390 or visit http://www.marist.edu/htbin/wlvindex?LINUX-390
