Saurabh, You will find the VM Directory "OPTION" statement documented in the manual "CP Planning and Administration". Look in the index for: OPTION user directory control statement ###
The RMCHINFO operand is documented online at: http://publibz.boulder.ibm.com/epubs/pdf/hcsg0c01.pdf as:RMCHINFO indicates that the specified virtual machine is authorized to access real-machine configuration information, without regard to the virtual machine's configuration. It should be used when OSA/SF (or any other application that may require real machine configuration information) is running under CMS. RMCHINFO should not be specified for guest operating systems Note especially the final sentence! It seems to decribe the problem with your z/OS guest operating system defintion.
