I'm doing a similiar thing right now on a z/VM 5.2 install. I screwed
up the RACFVM 200 and 300 mdisks and have found that there is a
"RECOVER" option on the INSTALL EXEC. You could, mdisk by mdisk, load
what you need. What you'd need to look for, however, is whether things
like the PPF file is on the MAINT 51D disk.
As a related FYI, however, I'm working with VM support right now to
get past a "gotcha". I have all of 5.2 on a single 3590 cartridge. I
need to recover the 281st and 282nd files from the SDO cartridge.
INSTALL uses DDR. DDR's SKIP parameter accepts a maximum of 255. I
need to skip 280 files for the RACFVM 200 disk. I should know in a
little while if the new DDR will cure the problem.

This may be a lot easier than I thought.
It appears all of the code is on 2VMVMV20 mdisks all I have to do is run
a SES command to move them to production 200, 400 etc mdisks.
I am at a D/R site with limited resources, can anyone suggest what the
SES command might look like?
Thanks

Two alternatives:
If you have the tape layout, the you can restore the minidisks one by
one. I think each minidisk was separately DDRed.
If not: then you need to restore a whole VM and you use the directory
you just showed to extract the minidisks you want and DDR them from the
new packs onto minidisks of your current VM.
e.g. (after the restore to get MDISK 2C2 3390 3334 004 430W01 )
LINK 2VMVMV20 2C2 222 M (current VM)
ATTACH restored_430W01 * 111
DDR
SYS CONS#IN 111 DASD#OUT 222 DASD
COPY 3334 3337 reorder 0
And, you need more than OSASF 200 and 400: the 2VMVMV20 user contains
the real SW.
As for the link error: in the past, OSA/SF installed a stupid PROFILE
EXEC that tries to link to non-standard minidisk addresses. No need to
a MAINT 19A for example. I don't know if this is better in z/VM V5.
