FWIW, we've always built the directories for our customers who recover under VM with a DASD userid owning all the MDISKs, and all other guests LINK to DASD. When you're recovering MVS (don't know about VSE) you have to do it this way if you want virtual reserve/release to work (as Steve Frazier pointed out).
What are the advantages, aside from possible job security, of defining all MDISKs for every instance of a pack? Sounds like a pointy-haired-boss decision to me ...
