There was a small disconnect between the last and the previous poster, which is what I wanted to point out. No directory management, no SMAPI.
A doc check shows that DIRMAINT (specifically) was required at z/VM V5R2. This prereq evolved to a generic directory manager at V5R3+ ... I hadn't noticed that.

Regardless of brand, you'll need some kind of disk/Dir management package to do any useful automation so I'm not too worried about making it a prereq.
