RE: Virtual Ethernet and NFS Image Catalogs

[Rob Berendt <rob@xxxxxxxxx>]

Did you change all your NWSD's to only have one with ALWDEVRSC(*ALLOPT *ALLTAPE) RSTDDEVRSC(*NONE)          
And the rest have  ALWDEVRSC(*UNRSTD) RSTDDEVRSC(*ALLOPT *ALLTAPE)
?

As soon as I run the following on the host:
LODIMGCLG IMGCLG(V7R3CUME) DEV(V7R3CUME)
WRKOPTVOL
I immediately see the same thing I saw in WRKOPTVOL on the host appearing on the guest.  It just may be on a different device name.  In this case, OPT17.

On the guest:
WRKHDWRSC *STG
Resource        Type-model  Status
...
CMB11            290A-001   Operational
  DC05           290A-001   Operational
I use 9=Work with resource on DC05 and I see
Resource        Type-model  Status      
DC05             290A-001   Operational 
  OPT19          632C-002   Operational 
  OPT18          632C-002   Operational 
  OPT17          632C-002   Operational 
  OPT11          632C-002   Not detected
  ...

An option 7 used on OPT17 shows
Location :   U8286.41A.<redacted S/N>-V5-C350-T1-L8220000000000000
I can easily tie C350 to the virtual device I configured using my HMC.

I should go into SST and blast all those "Not detected".

Is that a virtualized virtual optical drive with loaded image catalog?  If so, Can you point me to the details on setting that up?  I think I have a virtual optical drive virtualized.  But with an image catalog loaded in it on the host, the guest says the drive is empty.  There's probably a step or three I'm overlooking.
