Two separate systems sharing a DS 8100. The z10 and z890 don't share an HCD.
I cannot vary something online to the z890 that doesn't exist. Am I making sense or missing the point you are trying to make? ____________________ James R.

Our Z/OS z10 system has them defined and is working with them quite nicely. Our z890 z/VM system doesn't have them in its IOCP. I've checked the z/VM system using CP Q DYN STAT and discovered it does allow dynamic io reconfiguration. So, my question is how do I get the new dasd online to z/VM? It will use existing paths to the DS8100. There are 8 devices on this new path. I've never done this sort of thing to a running system and have a certain respect for keeping it up and working. Experimenting is not an option for me. Thanks in advance for hints, tips, and an education. ____________________ James R.
