<----- snip -----> I have a full test this weekend, so hopefully will have some of this ironed out. I am going with a newly formatted CFRM dataset and retaining all the other COUPLE datasets.
If I use a new CFRM dataset, where is the CF policy information stored? I was thinking it was stored in the XCF COUPLE dataset as how would z/OS know how to format the CFRM dataset when coming up? I hope to come up in the new environment and the structures are re-created in the new CF, but all other COUPLE datasets are intact, e.g. DASD Logger files will retain their state. <----- snip -----> Why wait? If you want to use a newly created CFRM couple dataset, allocate it on a mirrored volume, write the policy you want into it, and that should be it. Just don't use it before the test. But, if you are already testing, you could first try to IPL with the old CFRM couple dataset, having a policy with all CFs in it. If it does not work, take the new CFRM dataset.
