I was under the impression that PAV was a standard feature on
DS8000/DS6000. No?
No. This is from the IBM Sales Manual for 2107:

*
Parallel Access Volumes (PAV)*
Enables a single zSeries server to simultaneously process multiple I/O
operations to the same logical volume, which can help to significantly
reduce device queue delays. This is achieved by defining multiple
addresses per volume. With Dynamic PAV, the assignment of addresses to
volumes can be automatically managed to help the workload meet its
performance objectives and reduce overall queuing. PAV is an optional
feature on the DS8000 series, available with the PAV indicator feature,
#0780 and corresponding DS8000 series function authorization (2244-PAV
with feature(s) #78xx).
