I believe Doug meant that the process that reserves LDEVs 90-99 at system
startup will use numbers greater than 99 if there are conflicting LDEVs
configured in SYSGEN.  It is only NMMGR that will be unable to configure
those LDEVs.

Doug Werth said:
In any event, the LDEV numbers 90-99 are automatically reserved when the
machine is started, and the numbers are not configurable. If you configure a
device in SYSGEN using the same LDEV number then the next available device
number after 99 will be used. However, if you try to use an LDEV in the 90
to 99 range in NMMGR that device configuration will fail because the DCC
startup occurs after the system has already reserved 90 through 99 for
Reverse VT, causing a device numbering conflict.

I'm not so sure, we're using LDEV 90-96 for DISC, so how did I configure
them if they are not configurable?
