That's another cool thing about VM. It'll just find all that I/O for you. No need to tell it (now why can't z/OS be so clever?)

I'm not trying to move the IODF - we will use HCD on z/OS to manage the whole shooting match for both z/OS and z/VM. My question is how do I get z/VM to access the IODF so it knows about the hardware configuration etc? Can z/VM just share the IODF file with z/OS or do we need to export the IODF to z/VM somehow? ie: how do we go about managing our IODF now that we've got z/VM in the picture as well as z/OS.

If you are happy with your current IODF management, then there is no need to reinvent the wheel and move the IODF to VM. In fact, you could cause yourself some problems by moving it. Please explain your thinking a little more so that we can offer appropriate advice.

I'm afraid my z/VM knowledge is next to zero at the moment and I'm the z/VM expert! :-) Our IODF is managed by z/OS for all z/OS and z/VM LPARs. Is there a guide anywhere to getting the IODF from our z/OS systems over to z/VM? Had a look in the z/VM IO Configuration manual but nothing jumped out. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
