Hi folks, I am trying to use LIO on amd64 to provide block devices to some AIX 6.1 and 7.1 hosts. It works pretty well, except that I cannot create rootvg wpars on AIX 7.1. (rootvg wpars are containers running on their own volume group.) The error message on AIX is bash-4.3# mkwpar -O -D rootvg=yes devname=hdisk3 -n sample ********************************************************************** ERROR mkwpar: 0960-587 hdisk3 has un-supported subclass type. ********************************************************************** Kernel is 4.9.13 (Debian backports). It shows several (maybe unrelated) lines in kernel.log : Mar 23 08:46:05 nasl003b kernel: [ 1172.226643] Unknown VPD Code: 0xc7 Mar 23 08:46:05 nasl003b kernel: [ 1172.279368] Unknown VPD Code: 0xc7 Mar 23 08:46:06 nasl003b kernel: [ 1172.331243] Unknown VPD Code: 0xc7 Mar 23 08:46:06 nasl003b kernel: [ 1172.380074] Unknown VPD Code: 0xc7 Mar 23 08:47:02 nasl003b kernel: [ 1229.106384] Unknown VPD Code: 0xc7 Mar 23 19:06:30 nasl003b kernel: [38396.514881] Unknown VPD Code: 0xc7 Mar 23 19:06:30 nasl003b kernel: [38396.576499] Unknown VPD Code: 0xc7 Mar 23 19:06:30 nasl003b kernel: [38396.624678] Unknown VPD Code: 0xc7 : What is it trying to tell me? Every helpful hint is highly appreciated Harri
