Hi Peter, I have two res packs sets ... For brevity, let's say A and B ... For my maintenance system, I merely have one set. I RECEIVE and apply maint., after backing (DFDSS) up the existing zones / datasets ....
Thereafter, I use a DUMP / RESTORE process (w/RENUNC) for my various systems. More to your question, yes, I have all zFS's on my RS2 pack ... Thereafter, it's a simple matter of restoring the dump to res pack volumes that are not in use, on which ever system I plan to IPL ... This works well .. For now ... Please feel free to contact me offline if you have any questions.

Just a few clarifications. In my previous shop for every maintenance we used to just copy the root files using FDR. How do you roll out root file system everytime. Do you always create a new one or you keep maintaining the same naming standards based on RES volume symbolic? Here we have two respack OSRESA and OSRESB. Either OMVS.OSRESB.ROOT gets created or OMVS.OSRESA.ROOT gets created each time. It's a new Shop that I have inherited but just wanted to know how you are doing ? Could someone please be kind enough to share your best practice?
