Hi Bart, Thanks the below is exactly what I was looking to find out. I think the reason the HFS are all in the master catalog is it worked and nobody thought to change it, now that we are converting to ZFS we need to change it.

Almost all datasets on the sysres volume are in a user catalog on that same sysres, including the VERSION zFS. We don't have a single zFS in the master catalog. We're 2.1 now, but have had this setup for a number of releases, so I don't see any reason why you would need your zFS in Master for your 1.13 systems.

We have started to use ZFS for 2r1 which is fine if the Sysres is for the same Lpar the clone process is run on but I am now cloning a Sysres for another Lpar. I can't get the ZFS datasets accessible in both master catalogs at the same time, I know now that it is because they are Vsam datasets so cannot be in 2 catalogs. I want them to be in both so I can apply maintenance on our Dev lpar rather than risk a mistake or accident causing a problem in production. Can they be in a user catalog? I know they are not now because they are used very early on in the IPL but is it an option? Is there an easy way to move ZFS datasets between 2 master catalogs? The only option I can think of at the moment is running the clone process from the current Sysres to a new one in the prod lpar so everything will be in the prod catalog.
