My apologies if this email starts a new thread. I did not receive any replies but saw on the web that there were two. Hopefully my "linux-390" options are now correct.
There were questions about the LUN number and the bootprog. The LUN of zeroes is correct and I have changed the bootprog to 0. This is per our Linux sysadmin. I have asked him about the WWPN - FYI this was the posted. The loaddev portname looks like the initiator WWPN of your local FCP=20 device 0.0.2000, so the open port fails as expected. Portname should be (one of) the storage target WWPN(s) behind which your = LUN is reachable (it must be the LUN that contains the "zipl target",=20 which is /boot with RHEL, and thus the zipl boot record). Is there a way I can query the wwpn 'behind' the LUN? We do use SAN here for 'regular' storage but this is our first attempt at IPLing. Our storage guys always zone the storage to/for the WWPN that CP displays via the Q FCP command. FYI - we are using an IBM SVC ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 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/
