Hi Mohamed,
Using indirect volser support is a good way to go. I would suggest one
other change. Start the Prod Lpar disks with P, and the Test Lpar ones with
T, rather than put them in the middle of the name. That way they stand out,
and all the Prod lpar disks are together in a list of volsers. You could
use TZOSCA and PZOSCA for your cat volume. We used a similar naming
convention, and it worked well for us.

Hi,
I am going to migrate from Z/OS V1.4 to V1.7, we have two independent
systems TEST and PROD, each system has its own datasets and volumes, but
we keep the same VOLSER names for both right now as example we use for CAT
volume two different VOLSER using the same nane ZOSCAT.
I am thinking to have for both systems two different VOLSER names such as
ZOSPCA for PROD and ZOSTCA for TEST and etc for all the Z/OS volumes.
Normally we install our staff and IPL the new system and use it for TEST,
and take a copy to use for PROD with the same VOLSER names.
But to implement the two systems with two different VOLSER names, I am
thinking to use the indirect volume serial support, but I do not know if
it is the rigt view or not, as how I can do it.
If any one had this experience before, I want to share this experience,
and to guide me to any reference which can help.
Thanks,,.
