On my system all of the devices come online at IPL time. So if I only
want certain devices to come online on certain LPARS can I do something
like this where since all of the devices come online at IPL can I vary

IMO - that's the best/safest way to do it.It forces you to specify the
volumes you actually want online to z/VM..
Your post says that on your system all devices come online at IPL time
though? That's the opposite approach and not as 'safe'...
