Adding Devices to z/VM
Title: Adding Devices to z/VM We recently removed an old tape silo that housed our 3490 drives. Instead, we have a standalone bank of 2 3490 drives. I updated my IODF/IOCDS on the z/OS side giving all LPAR's access to the channels and shared the devices among all LPARs. However, when I query the device on z/VM, it returns a message that the device does not exist. Is there a way to dynamically add these devices to my z/VM system?

Question about adding devices in z/VM V3
Hi, I have made a mistake in my IOCP that I need to correct. Specifically, I coded my CNTLUNIT UNITADD=((00,176)) for my 2107. I coded my IODEVICE ADDRESS=(3800,156). I need to increase the the number of devices on my IODEVICE definition. How do I accomplish this? I tried to do a DEFINE DEVICE 389C-38AF UNITADD 9C CUNUMBR 2 DASD STAT SENSED but I get a 0106 return code. a Q 389C-38AF shows no devices. Any ideas? -- Craig
Re: Question about adding devices in z/VM V3
You can find the explanation of the 0106 return code in the VM I/O Configuration manual. There are 9 possible reasons. Your note did not show the entire CNTLUNIT macro but my first question is whether you really used CUNUMBR=2 on that CNTLUNIT macro. That is the only condition that looks likely.
