So, I guess the answer is no, it won't be z/linux formatted. It will just be a CMS disk. _____ From: The IBM z/VM Operating System [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Stracka, James (GTI) Sent: Friday, October 26, 2007 9:47 AM To: IBMVM@LISTSERV.UARK.EDU Subject: Re: DASD question What do you want? Do you expect your z/Linux guests to ACCESS it as a CMS disk? In essence, you already have what you want.

I formatted LX1472 with CPFMTXA. It is not in the User_Volume_List but I added it for next ipl. I tried attaching 1472 to SYSTEM, but when I try to access the vdev 1472, it says it's in OS format. Can someone give me the steps to add this dasd like I want to?? Anne D.
