In the second level system, do a "Q DASD ALL" and look at the results; Do you see your disks there, and what is their state?
In the first level system, do a "Q DASD label" for the two disks in question, and see what their state is there. There has to be a reason that the disk isn't finding its way into the second level system as a usable device.... Just need to figure out what that is. -- .~. Robert P.
