No, here is something from the PR/SM Planning Guide from the Hardware Bookshelf for configuring a CHPID online dynamically:
http://publibz.boulder.ibm.com/cgi-bin/bookmgr_OS390/BOOKS/DA3A6013/CCONTENTS?SHELF=DA3416C1&DN=GA22-7123-13&DT=19960605055404 3.2.17.4 Dynamic I/O effects on Channel Path (Re)Configuration If a channel path is dynamically added to the configuration using dynamic I/O configuration, all the logical partitions in the channel path access list (for a shared channel path) or the one logical partition in the channel path access list (for an unshared channel path) are targeted to have this new channel path configured online. The dynamic I/O configuration change does not bring the channel path online. The channel path will be configured online to the targeted logical partition when one of the following occurs: ° The system control program running in the targeted logical partition issues the appropriate reconfiguration command to configure the channel path online. For MVS, this would be CF CHP(nn),ONLINE ° The CHPID service language command is issued to configure the channel path online to the targeted logical partition while the logical partition is active. ° The targeted logical partition is activated. (This includes the case of the targeted logical partition first being deactivated and then reactivated.) ° A power-on-reset is done with the IOCDS that has the new dynamic changes defined in it. Subsequent to the POR, activation of the targeted logical partition will configure the channel path online. On processors that are not EMIF capable, dynamic I/O additions do not cause unshared channel paths to be targeted to come online to the owning logical partition. An explicit channel path configuration command or a POR is needed to target and configure the channel path online.

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.

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
