I have a special situation here where the z/VM system is a separate box then the z/OS system which requires the files to be sent to me and I build them on the VM system.

This is somehow enforced by that "tokens" are used, and when z/OS is the master, a VM LPAR can no longer do dynamic changes. This is not related to z/VM having access to the IOCP source or not. As fa as I know, HCP can even create IOCPs for other systems than the LPAR it runs on; in that case, it is useful to ship the IOCP source created by HCD to a VM on another system and use the IOCP command to place it online there. 2007/12/3, RPN01 <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: Our I/O configuration is done completely via z/OS. The only downside I can see to it is that z/VM can't dynamically add devices, since it has no access to the source. -- .~. Robert P.

In fact, attempting to use both z/OS HCD and z/VM HCD on the same box could result in major grief. Choose one, and stick to it.

I have two other LPARs on this box running z/OS 1.4 and z/OS 1.7. Can I maintain (either temporarily or permanently) my hardware/software configuration for the z/VM LPAR using HCD under z/OS? I have a huge learning curve ahead of me and not having to learn z/VM's HCD would lighten my load a bit. Any words of wisdom from the community?
