I've probably missed something but I've found that setting up GRS via escon ctc (or whatever) has been rather straight forward. Most confusing thing has been assigning the right device numbers between the lpars/cpc. The &sysname issue has always been more related to going to sysplex. The issue of same dsn on different volser is an issue but manageable.
