Chris,

   With SLES12, there are some problems regarding formatting DASD:

Formatting dasd fails with Exit code: 1
https://www.suse.com/support/kb/doc.php?id=7017001
Formatting multiple dasd fails with "Error code 2"
https://www.suse.com/support/kb/doc.php?id=7016994

It appears you may be hitting one of these, the resolution says A future
yast2-s390 update will include the patch to resolve the problem. Customers
affected by this issue can also contact SUSE Technical Support to request a
PTF (temporary fix).

                                                                                
                                                  
 Thank you for your help,

Mike,

I am trying an autoyast automatic installation.  I don't have any issues on
a manual install.  The messages I am getting (can't get screen prints) are
as follows.  I have tried multiple versions of the dud including

dud=nfs://10.96.1.186/srv/nfs/autoyast/yast2-s390-3.1.22-6.1.s390x.rpm

I am using a mounted iso image for the install medium.

First screen is about
No hard disks were found for this installation .... (especially on s390 or
iSCSI systems)

Next screen says 0.0.0100 is not formatted. Format device now? (I got this
message on the sles11 install but it continued after a few moments without
intervention which is what we want).

Next screen is
Disks formatting failed. Exit code: 1.

Next screen

Device '/dev/dasda' not found by storage backend

Chris,

   When I needed to install with a patched rpm called
yast2-s390-3.1.22-6.1.8918.0.PTF.937340.s390x.rpm, in order to fit within
80 characters, I renamed it to yast2.rpm and used ...

   dud=nfs://8.40.33.191/installroot/yast2.rpm

I'd think your "modules" in /srv/nfs/autoyast/usr/share/YaST2/modules
should be the file with the driver update. I've not combined this with
autoyast.


 Thank you for your help,

I am trying to get autoyast working with sles12 on a ECKD install.  SUSE
support has suggested that I need a driver update (dud=???).  How should
that parm look and where is the driver?
