Ray, When you include dasd_diag_mod in the kernel configuration, did you put the dasd drivers in the correct order? Ours is: INITRD_MODULES="reiserfs dm_mod dasd_diag_mod dasd_eckd_mod dasd_fba_mod" If dasd_fba_mod is first, then the vdisk will always be detected at bootup as fba.
Once upon a time, it was also necessary to include the diag information in zipl.conf. dasd=0100,0102-0105,106-107(diag) This was set up some time ago. Since we have gone to SLES10 SP2, I have not tried booting one of our vdisk systems without the diag parameter. Ron Mrohs, Ray wrote:
Hi All, We are running SLES10 SP2, and I am trying to switch our vdisk swap from fba to diag. So far I: 1) run SWAPGEN EXEC with the reuse option (vdisks are defined in the CP directory) 2) included dasd_diag_mod in the kernel configuration and ran mkinitrd (verified with lsmod) 3) set the yast DASD option to use diag for the vdisk devices (verified in /etc/sysconfig/hardware/*) 4) included the devices in fstab as swap 5) reboot /etc/fstab: /dev/dasdf1 none swap sw 0 0 /dev/dasdg1 none swap sw 0 0 /dev/dasdh1 none swap sw 0 0 Swapon -s: Filename Type Size Used Priority /dev/dasdf1 partition 123948 0 -1 /dev/dasdg1 partition 247912 0 -2 /dev/dasdh1 partition 371872 0 -3 But the disks still show up like this: 0.0.0105(FBA ) at ( 94: 20) is dasdf : active at blocksize 512, 250000 blocks, 122 MB 0.0.0106(FBA ) at ( 94: 24) is dasdg : active at blocksize 512, 500000 blocks, 244 MB 0.0.0107(FBA ) at ( 94: 28) is dasdh : active at blocksize 512, 750000 blocks, 366 MB How can I figure out what's missing? Any help is appreciated.
