Hi Trying to add fba mdisk from EDEVICE to sles12.2 guest, and dasd_fba driver does not create the full partition node, /dev/dasdf1, for it for some reason:
zlnx030:~ # vmcp link '*' 305 a305 mr zlnx030:~ # chccwdev -e a305 Setting device 0.0.a305 online Done zlnx030:~ # lsdasd a305 Bus-ID Status Name Device Type BlkSz Size Blocks ============================================================================== 0.0.a305 active dasdh 94:28 FBA 512 10240MB 20971520 zlnx030:~ # ll /dev/dasdh* brw-rw---- 1 root disk 94, 28 Apr 12 13:04 /dev/dasdh Log for setting online: 2017-04-12T13:04:07.613846+03:00 zlnx030 kernel: dasd-fba.f36f2f: 0.0.a305: New FBA DASD 9336/10 (CU 6310/80) with 10240 MB and 512 B/blk but not partition creation happening as in SLES11.4 for the same mdisk: kernel: dasdk:(nonl) dasdk1 I vaguely recall the same problem has been dealt here before, but I can't remember the outcome, was it a bug or a change in the kernel/drivers of sles12.2 level.. Just checking if somebody remembers how this case can be tackled before I set up a PMR. Thanks. -- Regards, Juha ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For LINUX-390 subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO LINUX-390 or visit http://www.marist.edu/htbin/wlvindex?LINUX-390 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For more information on Linux on System z, visit http://wiki.linuxvm.org/
