VM supports PAV for guests. I don't think it does, or needs to, support it natively.
PAV is a chargable feature on the DS6800. I elected not to buy it on our DS6800.

The data is a NOMAD database. The DASD is on DS6800. I thought PAV was not an option for VM. Does z/VM 5.2 support PAV? I had not considered SFS as a possibility... SFS would add more overhead.
