Yes, you have actually underscored what I have been saying: except for the volume containing the lock file, no DASD within a single VM image needs MWV specified!
I tried to explain it more general than just VSE on a single z/VM. If that's the only place where VSE uses R/R, yes indeed. I had vague recollection about the Dynam/T VM database shared between VSE's and VM also using it, but I rather forget about that... In the end, it depends on what the guest is doing. We learned some of this the very hard way with 2nd level z/VM guests and their RACF database. Maybe Thomas is right that you it would not hurt to code MWV when you want MW. Can't think of a case where it would hurt. Rob PS I believe the statement about "full pack" in the Migration Guide is sufficient, but I think the real condition is whether the volume starts at cyl 0.
