Gregory, In short, no. When a z/VM guest is logged on, it is created using what is in the currently active CP directory. Any and all limitations, such as the maximum amount of virtual storage, number of virtual CPUs, are encoded in the control blocks for that guest. Any attempt to exceed those limits will be denied. The only way to get the new, "larger," limits will be to log the guest off and back on again. There are likely tools out there that run from a privileged account that will go into the control blocks for the target guest and change things. As you might expect, that sort of thing can be dangerous. Still, if getting this done is important enough, you could ask on the IBMVM mailing list to see if such a thing is out there, and where to get it.
