It seems funny to me that Mark (who seems to bend over backwards to help everyone) replied to this email. It also seems to me that RH folks don't respond anywhere near as often as Mark does on this listserver.
I hope that we here didn't hang our hat on the wrong horse when we chose RHRL.

It's been a while since I played with RHEL, so make sure you have good backups of stuff... >From what I remember, you need to add the new DASD volume to the "dasd=" parameter in /etc/zipl.conf, then re-run mkinitrd and zipl, and then reboot. To be safe, you might want to make a copy of your current "stanza" in /etc/zipl.conf, give it a different name, and update that. You'll also need to update the [menu] section to point to it. When you reboot the system, it should show up in the list of kernels to select from. If you have already configured the DASD online to the LPAR, the system should have detected that, and you should be able to do a "chccwdev -e 0.0.????" command to bring it online without rebooting. You'll still need to make the other changes, though, since that is only temporary until the next time you boot the system.
