When you run HCM/HCD, it disables the CP dynamic I/O commands. Further, IIRC, CP will not recognize devices that are not in the IODF if HCM/HCD is in use. And, actually, I misspoke. Features Enable DYNAMIC_I/O is what controls the ability of the VM LPAR to dynamically modify the I/O config (if CP owns the token). If your server is a mix of z/VM and z/OS, do your I/O configuration from z/OS. While z/OS HCD/HCM can handle all of z/VM's I/O needs, the z/VM version of HCD/HCM cannot handle all of the things z/OS might need.
