if you go that route, do mkinitrd before zipl (your steps 2 & 3) otherwise the
bootloader won't find the initrd where it expects to find it.
One possibility, if the staff controlling the machine's IOCDS are willing is:
1) shutdown
2) migrate the dasd to the DS8100
3) dynamically change the IOCDS

Maybe those files were misplaced there by
safe to run vgscan and then pvscan to list the PV's LVM sees.
I don't know your situation but in theory your lvm.conf can have filter
settings that prevent LVM from seeing PV's that a different setting would
expose to LVM.

Maybe the doc on zipl and how to configure the menus will help, it's in

While /etc's overmounted is it still possible to update the underlying
/etc/fstab and make other needed config changes?

(because it's stored on the disk anyway), but this could be useful for
keeping backups of just the metadata in data recovery situations, where
depending on the situation you may not want to restore the full volume.

What linux distribution are you running?
Our SLES 9 & 10 linux guests run 24x365 and can't be down for an image
backup.
We're using Tivoli Storage Manager (TSM) for daily incremental file
level backups over a network.
"BMRtool scan" run daily, before the TSM backups, captures the latest
partition,
can't you make partition1 dasda1 /boot and partition2 dasda2 the PV for
LVM?

Dave,
Your DR gallows humor highlights a crucial part of attempting a sles9-to
sles10 upgrade:
if the upgrade doesn't work in the time allotted I'm going to need to do
a reliable bare metal restore to fallback to my working sles9 server.
Can't have a production server down for too long.

My sles9's don't use dasd, they're all scsi LUNs and LVM other than /
partition: anybody have tips on doing the sles10 upgrade with scsi disks
and/or LVM?

Me too. Interested in upgrading my many sles9's to sles 10 without doing
a complete re-build. If anyone has anything to share about the sles 10
upgrade process please post.
