Thank you all for your help (I was asking about EDEV vs FBA) Reading all your emails, I've decided to give a try with EDEV. I am already having a big problem or perhaps just lack of a knowledge.
I decided to (for now) use EDEVICE attached to linux guest (without minidisks). Sles11 instalator, can see it but it is unable to format it (!?). Format exits with error code 1. It doesn't allow me create any partitions. My hands are tied, don't know what to do. Disk is fine I guess. I was able to format it with cpfmtxa and with cms format command. I wonder if sles instalator is trying to use fdasd instead of fdisk... Do you know what I am doing wrong? Do I have to create a separate minidisk for each filesystem? I'd like to avoid that... Thanks!
