From: The IBM z/VM Operating System [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Dean, David (I/S) Sent: Thursday, September 03, 2009 9:17 AM To: [email protected] Subject: DASD additions for zLinux Is there anyway to get zVM to recognize new DASD for zLinux boxes WITHOUT a restart?

A live "SET" command?
