The environment is currently running z/OS V3.1 and we plan to implement a 
shared zFS file system across our SYSPLEX of four LPARs.
I am seeking step-by-step accounts from anyone who has completed a similar 
implementation.
Background and findings so far:

  *   We have a SYSPLEX with four LPARs.
  *   Preliminary research indicates the following items must be addressed:
     *   SYSPLEX root file system configuration
     *   System-specific file system configuration on each LPAR
     *   Creation and allocation of the CDS.
     *   BPX parameters update - SYSPLEX(YES) SYSNAME(&SYSNAME) AUTOMOVE.
Questions and primary concern:

  *   What is the recommended sequence of events to enable shared zFS in a 
SYSPLEX?
  *   Do all LPARs have to be updated or IPLed simultaneously to enable 
sharing, or can this be accomplished by updating one LPAR at a time?
  *   Is it safe to leave the current zFS filesystems in place and then 
unmount/remount the filesystems to change sharing modes when the shared 
configuration is ready?

Thank You
