I've opened and closed an ETR with IBM in the meantime and completed some independent testing. With our current software level (z/OS 1.8), we have no option but to sysplex- wide IPL in an alternate sysplex root. I'm glad IBM recognized the requirement and addressed it, just too late for us in this case. We should be 1.10 across our "bronzeplex" systems when next we have to switch sites in this direction. We tried to pick the non-volatile building to house the sysplex root, but this switch is a result of our facilities teams discovering we're not quite there yet. Also, a reader pointed me to the z/OS 1.11 announcement for ALTROOT support in BPXPRM, which is the next step - mitigating unplanned outages. Thanks for those that took the time to read and respond to my query.
