Elaine, you cannot have the same filesystem mounted twice(or more) in different spots in the directory tree in sysplex filesystem. As mentioned before, you really dont want to define user home directories in the root filesystem supplied by IBM. What we have done is created a automount managed directory in the sysplex root called /home that all user filesystems get mounted off from. Then from any system in the sysplex, the user is accessing the same filesystem from all systems.
here is my sysplex tree structure at the highest level. &version in BPXPRM maps to &SYSR1 the SYSRES - in our case RS* packs, then we have a few other, like vendor sysres (VS*), we automount NFS mounts, and then have system specific mount points (TEC*) that system specific stuff hangs off from.
