Re: Implementing PAV on EMC DASD
I would just add for completeness that HYPERPAV support was announced this year as well.

Implementing PAV on EMC DASD
All of our DASD subsystems are EMCs, I want to know if it's possible to implement PAV on DASD made by EMC? Can it be defined as Control UNIT=2105? Currently, it is defined as CONTROL UNIT=3990 and IODEVICE UNIT=3390 in the IOCDS. TIA.
