Check your parmfile where you specify your DASD device numbers. This is a

The Oracle install needs a bunch of disk space in comparison to say, DB2
UDB. LVM is your answer. I think I ended up with a 3GB file system for
their executables, and 100GB for their data--of which they used 13GB.
Make sure your swap space is sufficiently large too. Evidently the Java

Jeremy,
Nope. What you would need to do is do the #cp link (or whatever), and then
do:
echo -n "set device range=8000 on " >> /proc/dasd/devices
That should enable the new device for use.
