We have two SLES 11 machines that are not getting their swap file enabled at boot. The VM profile contains the SWAPGEN exec to format two virtual FBA swap disks. Looking thru the console log (in VM), I find messages the following messages: dasd(fba) : 0.0.5555: 9336/10(CU:6310/80) 60MB at (512 B/blk) dasdc: (non1) dasdc1 dasd(fba) : 0.0.5555: 9336/10(CU:6310/80) 60MB at (512 B/blk) dasdd: (non1) dasdd1 ... "Unable to find swap-space signature"
The 'swapon -s' command shows no swap space allocated. The 'lsdasd' command shows the two swap files, as well as the two ECKD devices for /boot and /.

But no change. If I enter a 'swapon -a' , the following is displayed: swapon: /dev/dasdc1: Invalid argument swapon: /dev/dasdd1: Invalid argument Is there anything that I am missing? Do the enabling of swap devices need to be anywhere else?
