Exactly. You DEFINE a virtual device: you ATTACH a real device. DEFINE CONSOLE 0009 <<define a virtual console at 0009 DEF CONS 9 <<same as above, just using short forms (in VM you can generally truncate things down to an unambiguous short form: DEF, DEFI, DEFIN, DEFINE; not DE because of DETach, and those two are too close in function! D is Display, which is generally harmless if done by mistake, unlike DETACH.) def graf 3333 <<virtual 3270 def t3390 99 cyl 10 <<temporary disk def 99 999 <<move virtual 99 to address 999 etc. LOTS of things you can define: ALIAS CFLINK CHPID CMD CNTLUNIT COMMAND CONSOLE CPOWNED CPU CPUPOOL CRYPTO CTCA CU DEVICE DIAGNOSE EXIT GRAF HYPERPAVALIAS IODEVICE LAN LINE LPAR MDISK MSGPROC NIC PATH PAVALIAS PCIFUNCTION RELODOMAIN RESPOOL SPOOLDEV STORAGE SUBSTITUTE TEMPDISK TIMEZONE VDISK VSWITCH ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
