I have a RHEL 7 zLinux on a single Mod-9 ECKD DASD.  there are three
partitions:
1 - /boot
2 - swap
3 - /

>From one Linux system I tried attaching a not-in-use zLinux Mod-9 and a
Mod-27 and using fdasd and dd to copy the partitions.  That didn’t work,
then I tried a VM DDR of the Mod-9 to  Mod-27. My thinking was I could then
simply expand the the third partition and expand the file system on it.

When I went to delete/create a new partition fdasd thinks my Mod-27 is
still a Mod-9 (10016 cyls)

I’m guessing there’s something in cyl 0 that tells zLinux the size of the
disk.   If I can tweak that to show the disk is actually 32759 cylinders
then I may have a shot at success.

Does anybody have any suggestions for how to move RHEL system from Mod-9 to
Mod-27?

Thanks,
Donald Russell
