Ok. Thanks. I thought the chccwdev thing was all I really needed but wasn't 100% certain. I went forward using that as the replacement to echoing a command request ala sles 8 and it all was fine. Must say the device detection/allocation is much improved in SLES 9.

The only thing you need to be aware of is the chccwdev command to bring the new volumes online after they've been attached or linked to the guest.

Had it down pat in SLES 8 Anyway looking to bring 2 3000 cyl volumes in to replace a 8000 and 5000 cyl volume respectively, temporarily as devs 211 and 281, copy devs 201 and 280 to 211 and 281 via the procedure on the linuxvm.org website then so all the needed things like zipl etc, and then change the guest definition to get rid of the old 201 and 280 and reassign 211 and 281 as 201 and 280 respectively. Any gotchas in how to do this on sles 9? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For LINUX-390 subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: INFO LINUX-390 or visit http://www.marist.edu/htbin/wlvindex?LINUX-390 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For LINUX-390 subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: INFO LINUX-390 or visit http://www.marist.edu/htbin/wlvindex?LINUX-390
