Mike, you can do this in several ways.  Question, are you using GRS or
something like it?  Could be dangerous if not since you could lock-up a
system if two tasks get the dataset at the same time on different
system.  Is the VSAM dataset on user catalog or master catalog.  If on
master just recatalog the vsam dataset on the second system.  You could
also connect user catalog on second system, but that would put all high
levels on both systems when you define the alias.  If it is just for the
one VSAM dataset the easy way is to just define the VSAM dataset with
recat.  Example:

DEFINE CLUSTER( -                           
     NAME(XXXX.CLUSTER) -             
     RCTLG -                                 
     VOLUMES(XXXXXX) -                       
     ) - 
     Index (name (xxxx.index)) -                            
     DATA (NAME (XXXX.DATA)) -             
     CATALOG(CATALOG.XXXXX)
