    *                      information for IDENTITY users could    *
    *                      sometimes be inconsistent with the      *
    *                      minidisk being backed up. DUMPEDF,      *
    *                      DUMPCKD and DUMPFDA have been updated   *
    *                      to rely exclusively on CP DIAG 00E4 to  *
    *                      extract extent information for          *
    *                      minidisks being backed up. Prior to     *
    *                      this change, DIAG 00E4 was used only in *
    *                      limited circumstances such as handling  *
    *                      of DEVNO minidisk definitions. This     *
    *                      change requires all worker service      *
    *                      virtual machines (BKRWRKnn) to have an  *
    *                      OPTION DEVMAINT statement added to      *
    *                      their CP directory entry if the         *
    *                      customer installation has not already   *
    *                      done so. OPTION DEVMAINT was previously *
    *                      required only if an installation chose  *
    *                      to use the RDEVVOL or RDEVICE operands  *
    *                      of job template INCLUDE, EXCLUDE and    *
    *                      SELECT statements.                      *

    *                      Behavior change: All service virtual    *

    *                      BKRWRKnn) now attempt to determine      *
    *                      whether or not SSI clustering support   *
    *                      is available, and will display the SSI  *
    *                      configuration status if that            *
    *                      information is available. This process  *
    *                      relies on the CP QUERY DIAGNOSE command *
    *                      to determine whether or not DIAG 02CC   *
    *                      is present on the system. CP directory  *
    *                      entries for BKRCATLG and BKRWRKnn must  *
    *                      be updated to add CP privilege class E  *
    *                      in order to enable use of CP QUERY      *
