Out of the box, RMSMASTR behaves very badly on a signal shutdown of your VM system. We have to use this to mount tapes in the VTS. RMSMASTR has files in VMSYSU: and VMSYS:, which both use signal shutdown by default. RMSMASTR hangs up the shutdown of VMSYS: until your system default shutdown

I think it moves datasets/volumes while they are open/being used. http://www.fdr.com/products/fdrpas/ TDMF or whatever it is called these days does something like that too https://www-935.ibm.com/services/us/index.wss/offerfamily/gts/a1028233 Course neither of these are for Linux on z or z/VM.
