In VMTEST, I was only using DEDICATE for hipersocket devices??? not for
any volumes..
The MDISK was the only way I could think to make VMTEST see that dasd.
I don't understand why the User_Volume_Include * doesn't allow me to see
all dasd.
After I IPL VMTEST, I did 'ATT 163C TO VMTEST' from MAINT 1st level and
that seemed to work. At least it exists on 2ndlevel anyway.
Thanks for the info...I'm hoping to learn a lot at SHARE!

I see a mix in the directory entry for VMTEST:
- you seem to use DEDICATE to pass the VM volumes to VMTEST
- but use MDISK to pass the Linux volumes
You could use DEDUCATE for all of them
A lesson about devices (something I explained several times when
teaching.
At the time there was not a single exception, now there are some)).
The rule:
A device can be given to 1 "person" only at a time. "person" can be
CP
itself or a virtual machine, never both.
- When you give the device to CP itself, it can maybe be shared,
depending on the device type
- for a disk, it can then host minidisks. Command: ATTACH xx
SYSTEM, or via SYSTEM CONFIG (CPOWNED or USER_VOLUME_INCLUDE)
- for a 3270 terminal: you can then logon/loggoff. Command:
ENABLE rdev
- ...
- To give a device to a virtual machine: ATTACH or DEDICATE is
used.
