Another way would be to define a VDISK in the PROFILE EXEC of the VDISKS machine (instead of VM directory definition) and check the return code of CP DEFINE (if it's 0, initialise it). I forgot to say that in this case you would have to add 'CP LINK VDISKS 222 vaddr MW' a second or two after

I don't run z/OS guests under our z/VM systems so I can't answer what you might need to do in z/VM. On the z/OS side you need to consider how far do you want to go with sharing. Do you want to have the same file open on both systems? Or are you just trying to find an easier way to move
