If they are NOTACCEPTED, as Gregg Reed suggests, they are covered both when they are added dynamically and when VM is subsequently ipled. You can use commands to add them to your configuration as needed. Just remember to take them out of the NOTACCEPTED list so that they will be part of your system after an ipl.

I think you also might want to check your New_Devices setting in the SYSTEM CONFIG. If it is enabled, new devices will be brought online when the system sees them appear.

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.
