I'll take the lack of response as confusion as to what is being asked, rather than evidence that I am the only person ever to do one. A target is a target - they just get restored. I point it at a INIT'd volume and forget about it. Uses SSAs to resolve the conflicting dsname issue - although that has a few kinks in it. Nothing major, but it's not all "hands off". For the DLIBs I put the z/OS release level in the DSNAME so I can catalog them, and not have to tool around with the DDDEF entries. Due to (IBMs) inconsistent dsnaming standards this is a lot more manual than it should be. Basically pretty straight-forward, but like all vendor installers, what they think you should do, and what you need to do rarely gel.
