Dear Listers,
We have experienced this for the second time & wondering if perhaps we
are doing something wrong here.
Surely you don't need to reboot VM just to add dasd to a VM guest (Linux
- SLES10 SP1).
Firstly, we are running VM v5.3.
In SYSTEM CONFIG we have specified the following just to prevent
reIPLing VM just to add dasd:
User_Volume_Include LNX*
These are the steps I've followed :
q a40e
DASD A40E SAA40E
I then initialised the volume as LNX015 using cpfmtxa & thereafter
detached it.
q a40e
DASD A40E LNX015
I then defined the MDISK under user SLES10X in USER DIRECT:
MDISK 120 3390 0001 3338 LNX015 MR LNX4VM LNX4VM LNX4VM
directxa user
z/VM USER DIRECTORY CREATION PROGRAM - VERSION 5 RELEASE 3.0
EOJ DIRECTORY UPDATED AND ON LINE
HCPDIR494I User directory occupies 45 disk pages
cp q MDISK USER SLES10X 0120 DIRECT LOCATION
HCPQMD040E Device 0120 does not exist
Issuing the following command in linux01 or SLES10X VM guest does not
reflect the added minidisk.

I'm sure we are overlooking something here. Does anyone know what we
missing here to prevent an IPL of VM just to add dasd.
Your assistance is very much appreciated...
Kind regards,
Vikesh Bhoola
