Thanks everyone for paint the pictures. Let's see...We don't have tape attached to our z/VMs. We rarely do server reboots and very rarely IPL our z/VMs (both of which will be changing though) and z/VM has almost never complained about anything.
When we do IPL/reboot it's usually due to change, so we're around anyway. The one time that z/VM did cause us concern was during IPL, so again, we were around. We have had to take a couple of chpids offline here and there for the HW guys, but we've either been notified of a problem or we were aware of a change. Either case, we've made ourselves available. So, we must be much smaller than everyone else, are too power hungry to relinquish control, or we've just been very lucky. :-) In any case, I still don't think they need access. And I'd wager they would agree. :-) Thanks again, Leland
