This is never a good idea. If you want to share a disk between z/VM guests, _all_ of them need to have it read only. None of them can have it read-write. There's too many layers of caching going on for it to work reliably, if at all. If you absolutely have to have access to a disk that is mounted read-write, use NFS to export it read only.
