We have not seen anything in the manuals that says CSE is a requirement. We sat through Jay Brenneman (IBM)'s SHARE presentation on CSE. Coordinated Directory updates are a prereq for CSE not the other way around. That's why we think we should be able to do this without CSE. >>>From: The IBM z/VM Operating System [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Stracka, James (GTI) >>>It may have changed but I thought you needed PVM, not RSCS. >>>Robert P. Nix Mayo Foundation >>>Actually, I think the requirement is RSCS or shared spool. PVM is required for CSE to implement its features, including shared spool. The options according to the DIRMAINT File Tailoring and Configuration guide are for RSCS or Shared Spool. We are running RSCS between all three lpars. --------------------- What we are seeing is that we can get DIRMAINT and/or DIRMSAT to accept commands and even act like they are performing updates but when we bring DIRMAINT up in place of DIRMSAT the directory hasn't changed.

AFAIK, the DIRM satellite support is for CSE configurations, and you need PVM to activate CSE completely. Did you set up CSE?
