A single mastercat and a single set of sysres volumes is doable. I avoid it because of the single point of failure.
A single global CSI is advisable. Then have a target zone for each set of sysres volumes. The target zone can be built by a cloning process. Install maint on target A. Copy volumes and its target zone to the volumes and target zone for B, then C, then D. Start over again.

(NIH/CIT) [C] Sent: Friday, January 19, 2007 1:24 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Zos 1.7 looking at some changes We currently run 4 LPARs each of which has its own: Mastercat Global CSI for MVS Sysres (actually a set of 4 3390-3) I'm wondering and the person doing the install is willing to consider consolidating some or all of these functions. Would anybody care to comment on the feasibility or advisability of running off of one set of sysres volumes as opposed to the 4 sets we currently. Is a single Mastercat possible? Is there any reason to have more than one Global CSI for Zos?
