Thanks, Eric. Everything I've seen from IBM simply says to clone your HFS and mount it at /service, but that is hardly adequate when you have 17 MVS images and can only get a few IPLs per year. We have several target zones to keep track of, and we may need to apply service to any of them. Automount is the best solution that I know to ensure that the correct HFSes are mounted at the correct mounty points.
I had written about this several years ago in http://tinyurl.com/ajjmc .
