A few years ago we did an upgrade from, I believe sles10 to sles10sp1, and the upgrade automatically changed all our drives to "by disk id" versus this format /dev/hdxx. Upon reboot our boxes could not find the DASD and they did the pw000000 lockup stuff. I subsequently went through each server and changed the formats back - zipl, and fstab. Was it something about the id's not happy with zvm DASD's, I CAN'T REMEMBER, yes I knew at the time... Now sles11 upgrade is giving me a dire warning that I need to go back to "by id" and the only thing that sticks in my head in not the reason, just the all night changing the stupid configs. Help.
