As already mentioned, you'll be fine. Regarding SPECIAL from Chapter 17 of z/VM CP Planning and Administration (SC24-6178):
The SPECIAL statement defines special virtual devices, which are fully simulated by CP and not connected with real devices at definition time. It is a good chapter to take a look at if you are at all interested in understanding "yours" and "theirs" devices, etc. in the z/VM user directory.

We will be using a zEC12 at a DR site for testing. Can the console virtual devices on our IODF TYPE=CNC chpid be attached to DR site VM devices on a real TYPE=FC chpid?
