Re: rack config - items not showing

I seem to recall a service tools PTF that affected v5r3. you could not see the dasd in the rack config or from the work with disk units service tools screen. I found this and I think it is close: be sure to read carefully:
36. 16 May 2006 DEFECTIVE PTF(s): MF34369, MF38536, MF38576, MF39123, and/or MF39361 for V5R3M0 MF35091, MF38575 and/or MF38658 for V5R3M5. LICENSED PROGRAM = 5722999 APAR NUMBER: MA33716 USERS AFFECTED: All i5/OS users with PTFs MF34369, MF38536, MF38576, MF39123, and/or MF39361 applied for V5R3M0. All i5/OS users with PTFs MF35091, MF38575 and/or MF38658 applied for V5R3M5. If any of the above PTFs are temporarily applied, perform the following command to remove the PTFs: RMVPTF LICPGM (5722999) SELECT (MFXXXXX) RMV(*PERM) RMVDEP (*YES). If any of the above PTFs are permanently applied, a restore of the Licensed Internal Code will be required. LIC PTFs MF34369, MF38536, MF38576, MF35091, MF38575 and MF38658 are included in cumulative PTF Package C6101530. REASON DEFECTIVE: The Work with disk unit screens under Dedicated Service Tool (DST) and System Service Tool (SST) are in English, not the installed National Language Version (NLV). Under some conditions, the Work with disk unit screens become unusable for all languages. RECOMMENDATION:The defective PTFs MUST all be removed before applying the fixing LIC PTFs. Apply LIC PTF MF39611 for V5R3M0. Apply LIC PTF MF39614 for V5R3M5.

Jerry,
I had this problem on our old 620.  My expansion unit only showed up if I 
printed the rack config 80 characters wide.

Subject: rack config - items not showing
I have a small 9406-270 P05 with 18 35GB drives. I go into SST, start a service tool, hardware service manager and press F6 to print a rack config.
Lo and behold it does not report the 7104 expansion unit nor the 7143 cage housing 12 drives. 

I thought the rack config was next to god in accuracy.

What's up?

Jerry
