Hi,
what you're describing is exactly what I tried. It's failing because HCD will
not allow to define a coupling link from the native CF on the CEC to the z/VM
LPAR. So the sysplex will not find the path form the old sysplex under z/VM to
the CF on the CEC.
Activating the policy with the new CF'S is not a problem as such. But the new
changes are pending because the link is not found, hence the information about
the new CF's is not writen to the coupling data sets.
That is exactly the reason for my question here. Has anybody done this before,
knowing more about z/VM and if that is actually possible.
Thanks

Werner,
I just ran this past no less an expert than Frank Kyne, and he says that
CF's under VM cannot communicate with native CF's on a CEC (I was wrong,
sorry). He says that he's done what you want to do many times and it's
not that difficult. You should be able to move your MVS guests and
sysplex back and forth from VM to LPAR and back again. You will have to
initialize the sysplex, but it's definitely doable.
