Tim, I haven't looked at an old OS/2 base console in years, but if I remember correctly.... There are 2 versions of the load panel. There's the base panel. It'll only have 2 radio buttons at the top for normal and clear. When the SCSI IPL feature is active, the load panel has 2 more radio buttons for scsi, scsi dump, and some other fields for wwpn and lun. If you don't have the second panel, I don't think SCSI IPL'ing a guest will work. I'm not a VM expert though.

I wasn't certain if that missing panel also meant that zVM would also fail to IPL from SCSI. Thanks both Mark and Ray.

If you open up the load panel on your z890 HMC/SE, do you see SCSI stuff?

Perhaps one of you will save me a lot of time. I'm building zLinux images to use zfcp file systems as the /boot directory. This works well here at home on our Z10. Our DR machine, however, is an older z-890, code level unknown. I'm able to mount the zfcp devices on already running booted-from-3390-dasd images, but when I attempt to ipl (this is as a VM guest) the boot-from-zfcp image it instantly drops into a CP Program interrupt wait error. There appears to be no attempt (or messages) to resolve the wwpn and lun path information that I've build into the image with mkinitrd. I'm thinking that the z890 doesn't support a boot from zfcp. Can anyone confirm this?
