Have done the fdasd command? >>> [EMAIL PROTECTED] 7/21/2006 10:20:13 AM >>> I am attempting to install CentOS (Red Hat) v4.2 in a zSeries LPAR (standalone). I IPLed the CD-ROM and I am at the point of havint to format the DASD. I entered:
Dasdfmt -b 4096 -d cdl -f /dev/dasda It comes back with a message that the file is not available. When I look in the /dev directory there is no dasda, although in looking in /sys I can find the file that describes the disk drive as well as the file that shows it online. Where does CentOS put the device descriptor and how do I address it in the 'dasdfmt' command? Ruddy A.
