I have this server with 3 LPARs. I can't get the DVD-ROM working. I have never worked on this server before so it's new for me.
I just tried smitty to add it but cfgmgr says can't accesss the device.

Pls let me know if you need some more infomation.

The DVD-ROM was working before until someone rebooted the server on the other day.

Can anyone guide me in here to get it working?

Thanks in advance.

Hello,

Thanks for your reply.

I don't know how to check that. I was told the DVD -rom was working in one of the LPAR. Could you pls le me know how I can check which LPAR it belong to and how to configure/assign it through HMC?

Once assigned to a LPAR, how to add it ?

Thanks

Check to see what LPAR (if any) has been assigned the DVD-ROM resource. Right click on the managed system and select Properties -> IO and see what LPAR has the DVD-ROM resource. (Sometimes labeled Other Mass Storage device)
