The internal search function is temporarily non-functional. The current search engine is no longer viable and we are researching alternatives.
As a stop gap measure, we are using Google's custom search engine service.
If you know of an easy to use, open source, search engine ... please contact support@midrange.com.

Is there a system value that dumps obsolete virtual devs

No.
or another way to dump these?
DLTDEVD QPADEV* if you must, but I don't see that having them around
does any harm. Also, You'll have to vary them all off first because the
system won't allow you to delete a device that is ACTIVE or VARIED ON.

The system should vary them off automatically after a while (ours does,
anyway.) I agree that deleting would be nice, since ours aren't all
QPADEV* but are named devices that are no longer used. I think we have
a few that shouldn't be deleted, so I guess it's good there's no
autodelete... I spent more time than I like deleting obsolet devices
last week.
BTW, the main problem I see (other than performance of the system trying
to allocate all those devices) is that new controllers are also created
to handle the devices. It leaves a lot of clutter.
One of these days I might write a program to do it, but I'm not sure
about the specifics since everyone has different needs.
