Tom, What part in the install complains? Is it too low on /tmp or /var space or too low on / or /usr? And is it in lvm or not? LVM can be extended quite easy, a single minidisk might be a bit harder to extend.
As a general rule: In the directory add the disk to the guest. On the guest (as root). The instructions might vary a bit depending on distribution and/or version. vmcp link <guestname> <vdev> <vdev> w chccwdev -e <vdev> Cat /proc/dasd/devices -> shows the 200 disk, note the /dev/dasd<xx> name. dasdfmt -b 4096 /dev/dasd<xx> fdasd -a /dev/dasd<xx> Now you can use the disk in the filesysystem or assign to lvm. Standalone: mke2fs /dev/dasd<xx>1 mount /dev/dasd<xx>1 /mnt In lvm you need to pvcreate, vgextend, lvextend and resizefs the new space. If you want the disk to remain after a reboot, add it into udev or zipl. And add it to /etc/fstab to mount it at boot.

This is a very basic question, but I am a basic LINUX novice. When attempting to install updates I get a message that I don't have enough disk space. How do I increase the space? I have another 3390-9 I can give to the guest LINUX vm, but how do I tell LINUX to use it? Thanks..
