    Thank you for taking the time to suggest an enhancement to our product. Many of our product enhancements result from feedback from our customers, so your input is always very important to us. The latest zPDT already supports this feature. Section 10.4 of the zPDT Reference Guide indicates the requirements and Section 3.3.1 discusses the shared option and outlines some warnings and considerations: (http://www.redbooks.ibm.com/redbooks/pdfs/sg248205.pdf).
    It is recommend that you only setup the specific disk(s) that you want to share in the group controller's devmap and put all other disks into the separate devmap for the instance (not shared).
    If there are any additional requests, please let us know.
