I have some new information. I happened to be logged on to the virtual Linux server's virtual console in VM while attempting to vary the device offline in a separate remote ssh session. When I did so, I saw messages on the virtual console like I see during boot-up when the device first comes onli

Hey, I just thought of something. The same day I installed linux-source-2.6.26, etc., I also changed the device numbers of the minidisks. The old device number range was 200-203, and the new device number range is 210-213. And I didn't re-test the offline / online procedure until AFTER I changed

> You always showed direct usage of /sys. Yes. But since "echo" with redirection was no longer working, I thought maybe the procedure had changed. To make sure, I invoked chccwdev -d 0.0.0201 I figured that if the procedure had changed, chccwdev would know the new way to get the device offline
