We do all the HCD maintenance from one of the z/OS lpars. You do not
have to send the files to VM. I'm not sure but what that might cause a
problem altho you would be just loading the same set of IO definitions.
VM finds the IO definitions at ipl time. I don't even know if our IOCP
program would run or abend on the VM side, altho I suspect it works. As
someone else said there is no operating system dependencies in the IOCDS
that VM needs or uses. As someone else said, there is the drawback in
not being to directly add a device from VM since the VM lpar is not the
owner of the IOCDS.

You should be able to use z/OS's HCD to create the IOCDS for z/VM. I
believe you will need to send the files to VM and use the IOCP routine
to write it out to the SE

I use this code to compile and write out the IOCDS source file

Subject: HCD question
I'm currently installing z/VM 5.3. 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.
=20
Any words of wisdom from the community?

Thanks in advance...Chris
