The other posts showed how to give a dasd resource to a running zLinux guest.....Well for minidisks that is. Of course if the disk is normally dedicated, you can just use the ATTACH command.
But after that, what then? If you don't know, attached is a document I use (SUSE 10 SP 2), which adds disk to Linux, creates a LVM, moves /home to the LVM, and then just to prove the function, add another disk to the LVM.

In my current procedure, I add the DASD to zVM SYSTEM, CPFMTXA, add the lines to my USER DIRECTORY, and IPL the USER. I can then go to my zLinux box and add the space to my logical volume. A live "SET" command? David M.
