Think of it this way: The directory definition of a guest are the "specs" used to construct its virtual machine when it logs on. Re-iplling a guest without logging off/on is the same as rebooting your windows box without making physical changes to it, changes to the "specs" aren't seen. (There are commands which can change the virtual machine configuration dynamically, an IPL without logoff/on will pick them up and may not even be necessary, depending on what they are and the guest's OS; but that's independent of directory changes.) -- Mike Harding z/VM System Support
