|
|
.B Device ${CCW_CHAN_ID} is unformatted
|
|
.RS
|
|
The DASD volume was brought online, but it has not been formatted with dasdfmt. This condition is really only important for YaST to determine if it should prompt the user to decide if they want to format it or not at that point. Return code 8 is set.

.RE
|
|
|
|
If environment variable DEBUG is set to "yes," it shows the command line of the invoked

Additionally, the following messages may be issued on stdout:

.B DASD ${CCW_CHAN_ID} did not come online.
