I have something like this: # pwd /Service # du . 16 ./RESZS1/etc 16 ./RESZS1/jv390 160 ./RESZS1/root 16 ./RESZS1/var 224 ./RESZS1 240 . #
The dddefs are all set up with cloned paths just like on our production system, about 160 paths to omvs files under /Service/&sysr1. So now if I IPL onto the new target res pack and all the files get mounted under /Service, the apply (check) should find everything? Should I set up the bpxprm__ to mount all these /Service mountpoints at IPL or would it be better to mount them with the mount command?

When I installed z/OS V1.9 I kept everything in the SERVERPAC (Tlibs, Dlibs, etc) as is. Then I copied the OMVS and TLIBS to SYSRES Volumes to IPL. That way I could always use the base SMP/E environment I setup for the initial install of the operating system There is a phiolosphy in the Manuals that you create new SYSRES and OMVS envrionment, and point the new OMVS environment to the /SERVICE directory. This way you can apply your maint to the new targets and not affect your production stuff. Since zFS files MUST be cataloged, you probably want to use something like OMVS.LPARname.ROOT.SYRESvol to keep them unique (OMVS.LPAR1.ROOT.SRES1A) The path you take will be however you want to maintain your systems. I prefer to keep everything in SMP/E as shipped (I use ZOS19T for tlibs and ZOS19D for dlibs and ZOS19 for all other datasets). Then I just use FDR to pick up the ZOS19T and place them on the new SYSRES home and change ZOS19T to SYS1. Then do any other customization needed for the IPL (like the SAD program) If you have questions feel free to write.
