Matt, Did you rerun zipl -V after adding the disk and changing the config so the initial ramdisk knows about it upon reboot??

We are running RHEL 5.5 on zvm, I am trying to get a additional mdisk online to extend a vgroup. This is a mod-27, I did these same steps last week for a new vgroup and it worked fine. Would like to mention I am very new to linux and at a loss what to try next. Thanks Matt Steps taken so far in vm; cpfmtxa - that appeared to run fine. xedit user direct and added mdisk. MDISK 207 3390 0001 32759 LN4F85 MR READ WRITE MULTIPLE There is a generic entry on the vm system config file for all LN/ volumes. Restart zvm - I understand the user direct can be dynamically added but that did not work the last time I went to add a mdisk so I did a restart. linux Restart the linux server. chccwdev -e 0207 Then get Device 0.0.0207 not found. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For LINUX-390 subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO LINUX-390 or visit http://www.marist.edu/htbin/wlvindex?LINUX-390 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For more information on Linux on System z, visit http://wiki.linuxvm.org/ If you are not the addressee, please inform us immediately that you have received this e-mail by mistake, and delete it.
