It's true that you can't add devices dynamically from VM if VM isn't the
owner of the IOCDS, but you can add them from z/OS and VM will see them.

Subject: Re: [IBMVM] HCD question
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.
