Most mixed installs (z/OS and VM) let z/OS manage the actual I/O config (since it cares a lot), and just let VM run with device discovery enabled. z/VM is smart enough to figure out what devices you gave it without needing to be spoon-fed...8-) If you really want to use IODF on VM, the I/O Configuration manual is the place to start. At a high level, transfer the IODF file over as a sequential file with FTP, put it on MAINT CF1 (and your other config minidisks) and add the IODF statement in SYSTEM CONFIG.
