Koray,

   You need to link those two minindisks in read only to a working linux 
server. I am assuming these two minidisks contains the /boot /etc... 

Treate this as if u need to recover the root password.  If u have problem 
during the mount then u r pointing the wrong minidisk extend.  Most likely 
wrong user direct.

Subject: Re: HCPGIR450W and HCPGIR453W after editing user direct

Hi Pieter,

i logged in as MAINT user and run "x direct user c" command.
then edited the file, saved, run the command "diskmap user", run the
command "x user diskmap" and searched for overlaps. And there was no
overlap.
Then executed "directxa user" and re-ipled Z/VM.

This is the procedure which our Z/VM guy wrote to me and im the Linux
guy.So i dont know if it was a source directory or parts of a segmented
directory on DIRMAINT disks. Our Z/VM has left the company some time
ago, and we dont have one yet.
Due to ipl didnt work us, we executed a POR (power on reset) and saw a
hardware message about FICON Channel Error, Lost of Light or something.
So we thought maybe it's a hardware failure. But i dont know how to be
sure about that.

There is also one weird thing, we re-configured all guests memory
settings, but some guests still run properly some doesnt ipl.

Regards
