And if the various recent posts to the list about wiped out files and mdisks has not convinced your management to take regular backups, now is the time to point out the follies of not doing so and get them scheduled.

Daniel, The LE shipped with z/VM 5.2.0 consists of the base LE shipped with z/VM 4.4.0 plus all service up through the end of z/VM 5.2.0 development. There used to be a table somewhere that listed where the various minidisks were on the installation DDR. I don't remember where that table is documented though. Sorry. You can have VMSES/E reconstruct the contents of the 49E at the latest level of applied service by issuing from MAINT, the command "VMFBLD PPF 4VMVMQ40 LE ( ALL", sans quotation marks. This will take a while to run as there are a lot of parts to rebuild from scratch.

No DDR backup exists. I do have a DFDSS backup. We have not put any maintenance on 49E (LE) unless it came with the installation. Two questions. 1. How can I tell if any maintenance went on LE with the installation of z/VM 5.2 ? 2. Is there a map of the installation tape to point me to where 49E data exists so I can reload it ?
