If you are running under z/VM, you might have to do a log off the server on z/VM and then restart before you pick up the z/VM profile with the new disk?

I just redid those steps with somebody who is a bit familiar with Linux looking over my shoulder. Same results, volume 210 does not come online. I can however use the chccwdev to bring 210 online after the boot.

Look at /etc/modprobe.conf on the SECOND server. If it has what you think it should, run mkinitrd on the SECOND server. Then run zipl on the SECOND server. Then reboot. I expect that you will find the problem fixed. Bauer, Bobby (NIH/CIT) [E] wrote: > I'm sure this is a rookie mistake (we are zVM and zLinux rookies).
