Yes, I opened an ETR question with IBM and they showed how to use
'copytree'. I just mounted the old ROOT file at '/old' and the new,
larger ROOT file at '/new' and issued command:
/samples/copytree /old /new
and it worked like a charm. I then mounted each of the other three zFS at
/old and copied them to their subdirectory in /new, e.g., the NetView zFS
was copied to: /samples/copytree /old /new/usr/lpp/netview/v5r4
It is true that I could leave the four files as is but I just have always
found cloning one file to be "cleaner" than doing multiple ones. I've
found FDR to be the easiest way to 'clone' it as in:
//COPYFDR EXEC PGM=FDRCOPY,COND=(0,LT,COPY1)
//SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=*
//SYSIN DD *
COPY TYPE=DSF,DSNENQ=NONE,DATA=ALL,SELTERR=YES
SELECT CATDSN=SOFTT155.OMVS.ZOS1R11.ROOT,
NEWN=SOFTT155.OMVS.ZOS1R11.ROOT.RES1TA,
STORCLAS=HFSTST
Thanks again to everyone who took the time to respond - much appreciated.
