As far as IPLing is required, the only required data sets are SYS1.LINKLIB (and the SYSLIB LINKLIB data set identified in PROGxx, if different) SYS1.MIGLIB (and the SYSLIB MIGLIB data set identified in PROGxx, if different) SYS1.CSSLIB (and the SYSLIB CSSLIB data set identified in PROGxx, if different) SYS1.SIEALNKE (and the SYSLIB LINKLIBE data set identified in PROGxx, if different) SYS1.SIEAMIGE (and the SYSLIB MIGLIBE data set identified in PROGxx, if different)
Lack of these data sets will result in a wait state (code 0A with message IEA716I).. Basically, it's those data sets that are placed by the system, or required to be there, in (almost) all circumstances into every LNKLST set. All the other data sets that have been shown likely relate to a properly running system with all the various z/OS elements. So they're likely "necessary" in some way but won't result in an IPL-time wait state Peter Relson z/OS Core Technology Design ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@bama.ua.edu with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
