Hey, Jerry - For my 2 cents, this is what I do. I am aware that there are other methods, but I find this easy and safe. It works for me.
My running res volumes ALWAYS have the same names, and my maintenance res volumes that I am building ALWAYS have the same names. My SMP/e DD DEFS ALWAYS have the volsers of the maint res volumes coded. I code DD DEFS for all datasets and all paths needed. I copy the running root to a new root and mount it /service/test. Our USS is very simple - we only run the HTTP server, no WAS, no DB2, no JAVA applications - so this may need to be different for you. I use indirect cataloging for the running res volumes. I NEVER apply any updates to my running system and I always take a backup of my SMP/e environment as needed. When I get a 37 that SMP/e does not resolve, I clean the library up outside of SMP/e. Be very careful to code volser and unit. I code the unit address and the volser; less opportunity for finger checks that way. As long as the maint dataset stays on the same volser the indirect cataloging will be okay. If you have to change volumes, you will have to redo the indirect cataloging for that dataset. For linklst datasets, be sure to keep a 0 secondary. This method lets you completely avoid the renaming/copying. In order to implement maint, I clip the res volumes so that the maint res volumes get the production res volume volsers, update BPXPRM00 with the new root and IPL.
