Which ones?  All? Your OS ("sysres") ZFS data sets?    

It has to be SMS controlled and you have to define it with DATACLAS
that has the correct options.   My only zFS that is extended is my
SMPNTS (4 3390-9 volumes).  Here is a sample define:

  DEFINE CLUSTER (NAME(hlq.SMPNTS.ZFS) -            
        VOLUMES(SMPN01 * * *) -                     
        DATACLAS(EXTEND)   -                        
        STORCLAS(SCSMP)   -                        
        LINEAR CYL(10000 10000) SHAREOPTIONS(2))    

Then I formatted it with "-grow".   See the Distributed File Service
zSeries File System Administration manual for more information.
