OK I already figured out that the following command allows a shop to use 
indirect volser support for zFS files.

DEFINE CLUSTER (NAME(ZFS.ROOT) LINEAR VOLUMES(&SYSR1) RECATALOG)

I also figured out that (at least on z/OS R12) that you cannot use a 6 
character symbolic and you cannot use ******.

It says in the IDCAMS manual that the cluster must be defined in the VVDS. So 
my question is how does this really help?

When I attempted the command and the VVDS did not exist on the volume I got an 
error message indicating that it could not find the cluster. This kind of made 
since but I am looking to keep the Root on the SYSRES. So do I need to 
re-catalog the entry on every IPL so that it reads the VVDS? If so I guess the 
only value is that you can move from one master catalog to another master 
catalog.
