As Mark Perry noted, DASD adds/deletes are probably the most common. The addition/removal of SCSI LUNs is also not uncommon, even in non-virtualized Linux systems. We're looking forward to the day when the amount of virtual storage can be changed without system interruption, but until then CMM gives you a similar ability.
