Actually, I see in the "Using Data Sets" that an "extended addressability" data set must be SMS managed so that pretty much answers my question.
For 1.11, I have the $VERSION ROOT less than 4Gb on a second non-SMS staging resvol. I just do full volume copies of the staging resvols to the alternates and then do a series of IDCAMS commands to "rename" the staging $VERSION ROOT file to one with the first resvol as the last qualifier. Works simply and very well. I may just keep the separate pieces on the second staging resvol or put the $VERSION ROOT file under SMS-control. Thanks for the responses.
