Hi. The MINIOPT PAVALIAS setting applies only to the one user. You'll have to add a MINOPT PAVALIAS to the other users LINK statement to give that user virtual alias devices. You can also use the DEFINE PAVALIAS command.

I have following directory statement(s): USER CLONSET1 XXXX 1G 2G G INCLUDE LNXPROF .... MDISK 0201 3390 00011 3390 VMXX01 MR RW WP MP MINIOPT PAVALIAS 1201 ... Now I link CLONSET 201 under another LINUX guest: USER CHARLIE xxxx 1G 2G G ..... LINK CLONSET1 201 201 RR User Charlie has no PAV ALIASES for the linked devices. Is it possible to get pav aliases also for linked minidisks? Thanks in advance. -- Best regards Florian Bilek
