Jeff, The class B requirement is there because the instructions tell you to ATTACH the DASD to the installation guest. Obviously, if you put the DASD in the directory, you don't need to issue an ATTACH command.

Marshall From: The IBM z/VM Operating System [mailto:IBMVM@LISTSERV.UARK.EDU] On Behalf Of Jeff Gribbin Sent: Saturday, June 11, 2011 11:20 To: IBMVM@LISTSERV.UARK.EDU Subject: Re: [IBMVM] z/VM 5.4 FTP Installation ... ? ... Just to round this off ... Installation completed successfully, exactly as per the manual. I now have a base-level system installed from an FTP server and upon which I shall soon install an up-to-date RSU. Note that 2nd-level userid used for installation is a Class G userid with no privs - I shall be raising RCF querying why manual says that Privclass B and DEFINE MDISK (if one is changing labels) are required. Onwards and upwards - thanks to Alan and Malcolm for their input!
