You won't see that until the guest is actually linked to the disk. Defining the disk in the directory does not automatically link it. > SO what am I'm missing.

For the link to appear, you either need to: 1) completely log the userid off and back on (shutdown and reipl of Linux doesn't do it -- CP reads the directory at logon time) 2) Log into the guest and do: #CP LINK * nnn nnn MR BEGIN Where you replace nnn with the virtual address of the minidisk you added. That will make it available during the current session, and the directory entry will activate it the next time you log off/on.
