Alain, Mini disks are defined in your IOCDS/IODF as though they were real DASD devices. Mini disks will appear as 3390's to your operating system running in a virtual machine. Of course, their size/capacity will be that of the mini disk definition.
If by LUN DASD you are referring to iSCSI devices, please review the attachment to this e-mail. It covers all of the topics relating to z/VM EDEV support. Good luck. HITACHI DATA SYSTEMS Raymond E.

OPEN is an other world for me. So I would like to know how I should code LUN DASD (METALUN ?) into IOCP and how a MDISK would look like too. A copy/paste would be great. And what q da xxx details would show ? Thanks Alain Benveniste Paris, France
