I would ask the z/OS guy what his IOCDS shows in the way of dasd i/o devices and put those in the offline at ipl list.
Then as you need them bring them online Mace From: The IBM z/VM Operating System [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Tom Huegel Sent: Tuesday, January 11, 2011 10:16 AM To: [email protected] Subject: IO configuration question? Greetings, I have a guestion regaurding z/VM I/O configuration. After I IPL my z/VM I have about a dozen devices (DASD) defined (Q DASD FREE), which is what I expect. But at some time during the life of the IPL the z/OS admin loads a new IOCDS (I think that is what is going on) I suddenly have several hundred devices online. The question: Is there a way I can prevent this from happening? I still want the ability to vary some of those devices online as needed.
