I have a directory entry VMTEST for a second level VM. (z/vm v5r1) I am trying to put a Linux guest on second level. I have DEDICATE statements for the dasd it needs but second level does not "see" this dasd:
HCPLNM108E VMTEST 163C not linked; volid LX163C not mounted HCPLNM108E VMTEST 165F not linked; volid LX165F not mounted I've tried putting a MDISK statement for these in VMTEST directory entry and I've tried adding them to the User_Volume_List on second level. Neither has seemed to resolve the problem. On second level, if I 'q dasd' I don't see these volumes. However, if I do 'q 163c' I get this: q 163c Ready; T=0.01/0.01 08:34:02 DASD 163C LX163C So, my question is: What is the correct way to "define" dasd so that second level VM can see it and Linux can "own" it?
