On May 1st (when I wasn't looking), the PTF for z/OSMF APAR PI92211 closed.
This PTF moves the default location for the z/OSMF data directory from under /var (a system-specific directory) to under /global (a sysplex-wide directory) with updated samples and documentation. This move puts the data repository for z/OSMF's sysplex management applications to a spot where it can be mounted on whichever system z/OSMF happens to start on, making it more likely to be congruent with other repositories that are usually sysplex-wide (like the security database and TCP/IP profile). Also, it simplifies moving the server between systems, including for recovery.
If you run more than one z/OSMF in a sysplex concurrently, there's a bit more to the story; in that case, you'll need one directory under /global for each autostart group.
An updated z/OSMF Configuration Guide was posted a few days after the PTF became available.
If you are setting up z/OSMF for the first time, use the updated book and the new samples for setup. If you've got it set up already, I recommend you review your setup and (most likely) move the z/OSMF data repository from /var/zosmf to /global/zosmf when you get around to it.
