Here's what I was told...
The virtualization of the optical drive/virtual drive on the HOST
partition is done by the network server description and vSCSI
connections. This functionality works even at a hardware level; I
can D-mode IPL a hosted partition from a HOST image catalog. There
is one nuance though, the licensed code on the hosted partition does
not have the 'smarts' to tell the HOST to load the next DVD image.
That has to be done manually with WRKIMGCLG on the HOST partition.

Does that make sense?
