I can not get the VDISK SWAP to work at boot time on SLES9.
I've read the posts on DIAG vs FBA.
I'd be happy if I could just get FBA to work.
Here's the part I don't understand....if I reissue /etc/init.d/boot.swap
command
after the system is up, then the commands in boot.swap do the trick....
I do see a message in the log at boot-up time that says
device /dev/dasdb1 unknown...
Is this a timing issue?
TIA
Dave
