At one shop I worked at a long time ago, we had a 6 pack Sysres system. &SYSR1-&SYSR6.
They were all 3390 Mod9s. It worked quite well. Currently our only issue is the OMVS datasets needed. We have put those on a Sysres volume that is a 3390 Mod54 with all other SYSRES volumes being a 3390 Mod27. We may need to loo, at using a 3390 Mod-A (The extend volume) to allow for the growth of some of the OMVS Files for z/OS we ship on the Sysres volumes.
