We used to have z/VM-only machines here. The IOCP was maintained by the z/OS people using HCD. They had a method of using the HMC to import the configuration into the z/VM machine. We didn't use an IODF, just an IOCP. These were 2064's in basic mode, but I would imagine that the process still

What's the actual problem you're trying to solve? If this means you're working using OPERATOR, don't do that -- use another ID. OPERATOR is too powerful and too noisy (as you've noticed) due to other system messages.

You can certainly load and activate an IOCDS dynamically from another machine in the complex, and I see no reason why the VM dynamic sense would not work. (I normally load and activate HCD configs across 3 machines from one single one - and those images also contain VM images)
