In need of help formating some DASD..We have some DASD we want to format to be used by LVM. But when we try to format the volumes it does recognize them.
1. we have ran the zipl 2. shutdown the LINUX LPAR 3. did an inactivate using the HMC to refresh 4. Reactivated LPAR using HMC 5. After system was up logon on an did a DASD LIST to see if the new ones were showing. Yes they were from address 2735 on down on the list 273e(ECKD) at ( 94: 0) is dasda : active at blocksize: 4096, 601020 blocks, 2347 MB 273f(ECKD) at ( 94: 4) is dasdb : active at blocksize: 4096, 601020 blocks, 2347 MB 283e(ECKD) at ( 94: 8) is dasdc : active at blocksize: 4096, 601020 blocks, 2347 MB 283f(ECKD) at ( 94: 12) is dasdd : active at blocksize: 4096, 601020 blocks, 2347 MB 2734(none) at ( 94: 16) is dasde : unknown 2735(none) at ( 94: 20) is dasdf : unknown 2736(none) at ( 94: 24) is dasdg : unknown 2737(none) at ( 94: 28) is dasdh : unknown 2738(none) at ( 94: 32) is dasdi : unknown 2739(none) at ( 94: 36) is dasdj : unknown 273a(none) at ( 94: 40) is dasdk : unknown 273b(none) at ( 94: 44) is dasdl : unknown 273c(none) at ( 94: 48) is dasdm : unknown 273d(none) at ( 94: 52) is dasdn : unknown 2834(none) at ( 94: 56) is dasdo : unknown 2835(none) at ( 94: 60) is dasdp : unknown 2836(none) at ( 94: 64) is dasdq : unknown 2837(none) at ( 94: 68) is dasdr : unknown 2838(none) at ( 94: 72) is dasds : unknown 2839(none) at ( 94: 76) is dasdt : unknown 283a(none) at ( 94: 80) is dasdu : unknown 283b(none) at ( 94: 84) is dasdv : unknown 283c(none) at ( 94: 88) is dasdw : unknown 283d(none) at ( 94: 92) is dasdx : unknown 6. Next tried to format the volumes with command - dasdfmt -f /dev/dasdx -d cdl -l LNX024 -p -t mflinux:/var/log # dasdfmt -f /dev/dasde -d cdl -l LNX005 -p -t Please enter the blocksize of the formatting [4096]: dasdfmt: Unable to open device /dev/dasde: No such device mflinux:/var/log # dasdfmt: Unable to open device /dev/dasde: No such device 7. Display coming out of /var/log/warn Feb 22 11:08:18 mflinux kernel: dasd: No device registered as (94:16) Feb 22 11:09:22 mflinux kernel: dasd: No device registered as (94:92) Feb 22 11:12:21 mflinux inetd[535]: smtp/tcp: bind: Address already in use Feb 22 11:15:48 mflinux kernel: dasd: No device registered as (94:16) 8. I have reverified that they are not being used by anyother system Can anyone give some guidance on this problem Lance Longstreth Bandag Inc GITS Infrastructure Security and Engineering zOS systems/Linux [EMAIL PROTECTED] ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 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
