Step 4: Attaching an FCP device under z/VM

These instructions apply to z/VM® only. The FCP device number must be available in your z/VM guest virtual machine.

Procedure

If the device number is not available in your z/VM guest already, do either:
  • Update the z/VM user directory. To do this, add a DEDICATE statement to the guest directory:
    DEDICATE 5400 5400
  • Use the CP ATTACH command to dynamically add the path. To do this, issue a command of the form:
    CP ATTACH 5400 to <userid>
    Note that the user directory still needs to be updated in order for the device to survive a log off.
