Yes. It is formatted as swap. Within the Linux guest you then do (presuming that the swap device is /dev/dasdb) swapon /dev/dasdb1 (in DIAG mode) or swapon /dev/dasdb But actually you just put the correct device in /etc/fstab and it happens automagically. This saves you the step of having to do a mkswap/swapon in your boot sequence--which is no big deal, but if you're using DIAG you will need to have CMS FORMATted and RESERVEd your V-DISK anyway in CMS before IPLing Linux, and while you are doing that you might as well write the swap signature.
