How did you create the IOCP for the machine that has the VM partition in question? Go there and change the definition of those channels, control units and devices to include the VM partition. Dynamically activate the changes.

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.
