In addition to his efforts at Xerox, Pake was known for the work he
did while earning his doctorate at Harvard University in the 1980s.
His doctoral thesis was on a phenomenon involving the interaction of
two closely spaced nuclear magnets--a theory that later became known
as Pake doublets.
Hi All,
In our shop I started installing SuSe LINUX in our MULTIPRISE 3000 S390 server, as a
first step I downloaded SuSe linux and related document from internet. We have done
the following activities one by one and failed during tape IPL:
1) Created seperate LINUX IMAGE is support element.
Thanks that worked and all seems ok for now.

Is the CHPID available in the Linux partition. It will need to be
varied off to the OS/390 LPAR and varied on to the Linux LPAR.
Also, the sequence of the files on the tape should be tapeipl.ikr,
parmfile, initrd.

It shouldn't care what's on the disk. We had trouble in the past when we DIDN'T CMS

'dasdfmt' does not care if you have already formatted with CMS.
Pre-format with CMS allows you to skip 'dasdfmt' in some cases.

I beg to differ.
At least on our H70, dasdfmt will not touch a disk that has not been
used before by VM.
There is no 'forced devices' section.
This seems to be your problem.
Do you have more success when you force chandev to re-read
its configuration file and reprobe?

Did you get any parse errors from chandev in dmesg?

A dasd device is in state accepted after the disable ioctl. This is
done by dasdfmt, it first disables the device, then formats each track

Doing dasdfmt against the partition (dasdf1), and not the whole device
(dasdf) is not going to give good results. I don't know if it will fix your
problem completely or not, but give this a try:
dasdfmt -b 4096 -v -f /dev/dasdf

Yes it's only for LVM logical volum. We need to extend online FS , like

You could use JFS, but it's painfully slow on Linux, and not all that
stable yet.
Another possibility would be to use AFS, where you can add volumes and
filesystem space dynamically from a client perspective (and a server can
be it's own client). That's a bit more complicated architecturally, but
