From 34cd551a31cd4e35cd3f9ed9f13bb46b4ee98508 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Stefan Haberland Date: Wed, 3 Aug 2011 16:44:23 +0200 Subject: [S390] dasd: check if raw track access is supported To use raw track access some special storage server commands are needed. Older storage hardware may not support these commands. So check if raw track access is possible while setting the DASD online.
