Thanks, Shmuel. The Unix System Services Planning manual has only limited references to mounting the HFS that is to be used by SMP/E at /service and changing the DDDEFS. It doesn't give any suggestions as to how to manage multiple target zones and ensure that the correct HFS is mounted at /service. As others have noted, it is possible to create a different mount point for each target zone rather than always using /service. If designed correctly, Automount can even be used to ensure that the correct HFS is mounted at any service directory. Still, the problem remains with applications that need to have their HFS mounted at /service/usr/lpp/xxxx, as clearly recommended in the SMP/E documentation.
It seems as if we have an SMP/E that can handle an arbitrary large number of target zones and always access the correct target data sets through DDDEFs, but we are expected to manually mount the corresponding HFSes for the ROOT, JAVA, HOD, MQ, NetData, XML, and probably others. I would not want to go back to the days of running SMP with a PROC containing DD statements with VOL=SER=xxxxxx for every target data set. The way I see it, the tools available for managing the system HFSes is in a similar state.
