The LINK survives a reboot. (IPL command.)  (So does ATTACH.) It does not
 survive a LOGOFF. So it 
is best to both update the directory  and do the LINK or ATTACH.

If you use MDISK or LINK in the directory, you would use LINK. If you use
 DEDICATE in the 
directory, you would use ATTACH.

A link must be issued from the guest. There are ways to do this from some
 other privileged userid 
via SET SECUSER. This was discussed on this list very recently.
