As a minimum, you can at least issue the ACTIVATE command dynamically through the HMC.
z/OS is not the only way to issue the CF ACTIVATE command. It can also be issued on the HMC.

VM HCD will not activate and do all the dynamic commands in VM environment. You can use HCD to manage the IOCP but you will have to perform the dynamic commands and activate the new IOCP Larry Davis -----Original Message----- From: The IBM z/VM Operating System [mailto:ib...@listserv.uark.edu] On Behalf Of Marcy Cortes Sent: Thursday, November 04, 2010 2:21 PM To: IBMVM@LISTSERV.UARK.EDU Subject: Dynamic IO Gens on boxes without z/OS? Hello VM'ers. We have new z196 boxes being installed that will have VM only and no z/OS. z/OS folks have been doing our i/o gens for many years. They tell me that they can write the new IOCDS from z/OS but will be unable to dynamically activate it from z/OS. POR's would be required. Is this correct? Is there anyway to do a dynamic gen if we want them to keep doing it? VM HCD perhaps? Marcy
