The output from the SWAPGEN is as shown in the VM console log: FBA swap disk defined at virtual address 5555 (15498 4K pages of swap space) FBA swap disk defined at virtual address 5556 (12498 4K pages of swap space)
I believe the SWAPGEN is successful because the swap devices can be turned on using the swapon command, if I specify the swap device as listed in /prod/dasd/devices. cat /proc/dasd/devices 0.0.2424(ECKD) at ( 94: 0) is dasda : active at blocksize: 4096, 1803060 blocks, 7043 MB 0.0.2425(ECKD) at ( 94: 4) is dasdb : active at blocksize: 4096, 1803060 blocks, 7043 MB 0.0.5555(FBA ) at ( 94: 8) is dasdc : active at blocksize: 512, 124000 blocks, 60 MB 0.0.5556(FBA ) at ( 94: 12) is dasdd : active at blocksize: 512, 100000 blocks, 48 MB Listing the swap devices in /proc/swaps shows no devices before the swapon cat /proc/swaps Filename Type Size Used Priority Issued the swapon command tcdctsm:/etc # swapon /dev/dasdc tcdctsm:/etc # swapon /dev/dasdd Now listing the swap devices in /proc/swaps shows the two devices after the swapon commands tcdctsm:/etc # cat /proc/swaps Filename Type Size Used Priority /dev/dasdc partition 61992 0 -1 /dev/dasdd partition 49992 0 -2 So it seems that the swap devices are being formatted correctly, but turned on at linux boot.
