I've had to do this where RACF was shared with MVS systems. If the MVS systems went down then VM was pretty much stuffed so we then just needed to IPL with the alternate CPLOAD module. Naturally no RACF was available but
the way VM is built its pretty much secure for the average user. In fact googling showed a posting from me about this: http://listserv.uark.edu/scripts/wa.exe?A2=ind9711&L=ibmvm&T= 0&P=34282 Seb
