As mentioned, thoroughly inappropriate to use /tmp for mass Serverpac /ShopzSeries downloads or decompressions. I have always used a personal zFS for such purposes (SMPNTS, or SMPWKDIR). Which can be easily re-sized/re-mounted depending on needs.
I'm wondering what the OP thinks SYSTEM/tmp is for (if sysplex-wide, otherwise just /tmp) , especially when it is directed to virtual storage. That's a performance thing for particular reasons, not a mindless convenience.

I recommend creating an /SMPNTS mount point, mounting your filesystem there, then downloading the ServerPac. As Allan pointed out, you will likely need at least 3 more mod-9s to unspin those tarballs.
