I run all my IO Gen's from the z/OS side for 3 reasons. 1) z/OS needs both the IOCDS and IODF to be in sync for dynamic gens. 2) VM senses the hardware changes and needs nothing in addition to the sensed environment 3) I grew up on MVS/OS390/z/OS and am still learning VM.
I love the fact that I don't have to try to keep z/VM and z/OS insync with copies of the IO gen. > -----Original Message----- > From: The IBM z/VM Operating System > [mailto:ib...@listserv.uark.edu] On Behalf Of Lee Stewart > Sent: Friday, October 09, 2009 4:32 PM > To: IBMVM@LISTSERV.UARK.EDU > Subject: Re: IODF Anyone? > > Not a loaded question.
