I asked my z/VM and DS8K person this question and he wasn't sure what you were asking.
He said he defines all the storage on his ds8k box as CKD though he could have chosen fixed block and assigns all that storage to the z/vm host. For each Linux instance that requires storage he just carves out the hunk of storage on Z/VM and assigns it to the Linux guest . SCSI is irrelevant because the Linux guest is virtual and doesn't need to know about the disk protocol. And his z/VM host is connected via FICON. He said the only time one might need to go back to the ds8k is if some of the storage on that box hadn't been defined and needed to be redefined and then attached to the z/vm host. But he's never had to do that in 10 years of running that system.
