I don't know why the mdisk works and the attached disk doesn't. If the label is still SCRTCH, then nothing was written on the disk. That seems like the TCP/IP connection wasn't established correctly. We should take this offline to work on it further. On Tue, Apr 5, 2011 at 4:27 PM, Brian Nielsen

You're hitting the nail on the head.. 'best practice' is to dedicate the DASD to each LPAR in the IODEF.. but this is best practice when security or data integrity demands 'physical' separation. It keeps you from shooting yourself in the foot and makes it impossible for an LPAR to effect

I think you can say best practice is on a need to know basis. This is especially important for some industries :) You really can't say you have a security system in place if something else can get there without it going through that security system. Does z/OS *need* to access your disk?
