Mary, CLEAN means clean, it deletes all files from spool and other special files as NSS and other. You should use CLEAR, that only deletes spool files but Keep intact NSS files.
For a rapid recovery, since you copy Devl disks, you can use SPXTAPE and backup only NSS segments from DEVL system and then restore it in you TEST system. It's easy and fast, than restore all DEVL system again. I hope this help you. ___________________________________________________ Carlos Bodra zSeries System Programmer São Paulo - SP - Brazil -----Mensagem original----- De: The IBM z/VM Operating System [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Em nome de Mary Elwood Digest Enviada em: terça-feira, 13 de fevereiro de 2007 13:43 Para: IBMVM@LISTSERV.UARK.EDU Assunto: Fw: NSS missing Good Morning All A VM newbie here and I've done something that I don't know how to fix. I built a z/VM 5.2 Test system off of our z/VM 5.2 Devl system by copying the 520RSD 520SPD and 520PGD to 520RST 520SPT and 520SPT. The first time I IPL'd the 5.2 test system, I chose to do a 'clean noautolog'. The system IPL's, but I have no Named Saved Segments. We thought these NSS's were on the spool volume, so we restored the devl spool volume over to the test and re'ipld. We have the same problem. When we try to logon to 'maint', it is missing the cmspipes and cmsvmlib. Is there a way I can rebuild all the NSS without knowing what they are??? Now that I ask the question - I'm thinking 'no', because I can't logon to CMS. Any and all help greatly appreciated. p.s. - it just might be easier to start from scratch. Thanks for your help and patience, Mary Elwood
