Each control unit can be in either Hyperpav or static PAV mode; not both.

Therefore, you can define MDISK E100 with 3 virtual static PAV alias
devices, but E100 must be associated with a real device that is on a
controller in static PAV mode.

Also, there must be 3 real alias devices on that controller (defined to the
real Base) in order to back E101-E103.

Is it possible to take advantage of HyperPAV with SLES9/10?  I realize
that HyperPAV is not directly supported by the kernel versions available
in SLES, so it looks like we're stuck with static aliases.

So, what I'd like to do is define a bunch of HyperPAV aliases for z/VM
to manage and then define static aliases in the user directory for the
guest...from the manual:

MDISK E100 3390 100 200 PAK002
MINIOPT PAVALIAS E101-E103

Will that work or are we stuck with having to define static aliases?

Thanks much,

Leland
