It depends on the setup of RACF. More in particular: if the VMMDISK class is RACLISTed or not. For RACLISTed classes, RACF keeps the permissions in storage, hence, if you issue a RAC PERMIT, you must explictely tell RACF to refresh the in-storage permissions (that's the setropts Rich mentions). Most installation will not RACLIST the VMMDISK class... Issue RAC SETROPTS LIST to see what is RACLISTed in your installation.
Anyhow, I doubt that recycling a guest would solve a RACLIST refresh problem. 2011/4/12 Rich Smrcina <r...@velocitysoftware.com> > Use: > > rac setropts raclist(vmmdisk) refresh > > > On 04/12/2011 06:02 AM, Florian Bilek wrote: > >> Dear all, >> >> Just a question regarding z/VM RACF protection of access to a minidisk. >> >> A LINUX guest tries to access another minidisk which is protected by a >> RACF profile.
