That is correct. There is no recovery id. When each user IPLs the single-user GCS, they are not joined into a group. > 1.

Just specify it as "*" (like the DUMPVM= default). But it doesn't really matter. In single-user mode, the recovery and dump machine values are overridden at IPL time anyway. > 2.

Probably not, but it most likely would be a bad idea for it to be allowed > to IPL GCS.) See above. A single-user mode GCS is automatically RESTRICT=NO, so anyone can IPL it.
