I can't help you with the fine print, but if the difference is the code
path that's gone thru for mdisks vs. dedicated or attached, perhaps you
could use full-volume mdisks.

We need to confirm that VSE/ESA V2R6 running under z/VM V5R2 on

attached channels will be supported. The 3390 logical volumes
(3390-3) on the 2107(DS8100) will be ATTACHed (DEDICATEd) to the VSE/ESA
V2R6 virtual machines.
A simplier statement would be "Will VSE/ESA 2.6 running under ZVM 5.2
with dedicated dasd on a DS8100 work?" The DS8100 is connected to the
Z890 with FICON Express2 channels.
I've read the DS8100 manual and does mention VSE/ESA 2.6 is not
supported in the hardware configuration above.
The IBM support people just told us that VSE/ESA 2.6 DEDICATED or
ATTACHED dasd is not supported. They went on to say MINIDISK dasd is
supported.
Can someone help me with the fine print?? This is not how I intended to
end the week,\....
Thanks and have a good weekend.
