Whether or not you limit the DASD range in zipl.conf it will still do a store subchannel and sense id for each of the devices it can find for the active IOCDS. If it's trying to do sense id (maybe even read device characteristics, I can't recall) for heavily used devices on other LPARs you could ru

Is the DASD shared? If so, I would think that qualifies as one of those "...results will be hard to diagnose." My thought is without z/VM your system is seeing everything available to it according to the access list and possibly the candidate list of each channel as defined in your IOCP. If you

First guess is that the LPAR has more devices defined to it than it will use, and it's running through addresses - to see what's there. Make sure that only what it's supposed to use is defined. > However when I attempt to start this copy of Linux in an LPAR > (512M and one dedicated CPU i
