There is no redbook (yet) that includes native z/VM SCSI support.
However, check out the WAVV (May) 2005 SCSI presentation on
http://www.vm.ibm.com/devpages/WILKINSS/ as a guide. You can get more
details on the commands and utilities mentioned (in my presentation) in the
CP Command and Utility Reference. There is also a chapter on our VM SCSI
support in the VM CP Planning and Administration Guide that would be good
to look at.
If you don't define the EDEVICE in system config, a single path EDEVICE
will be created for your SYSRES. If you want a multipath device (for your
SYSRES), you must define the EDEVICE in the system config file. Either
way, you must give an EDEVICE number for the system to use on the SAPL
PDVOL parameter as explained in the WAVV presentation.
My peers tell me that the support will work in basic mode.

I'm working on setting up a SHARK connected via fiber (FCP)on a z900 as a
SCSI device. Our z900 runs in basic mode (no LPARs). Is this feasible or do
you have to run in LPAR mode. Also, do you have to define an EDEVICE or
just
set the loaddev? I've looked at several redbooks but haven't found exactly
what I'm looking for. Is there an example somewhere that shows setting this
up from start to end? Just a simple example showing the IOCP, HMC screens,
VM CONFIG, directory entry, etc.
