I want to thank Mark Jacobs and Mark Zelden and everyone else for their help both on and off list while I got my hands around the zFS functions in z/OS
I was able to successfully IPL my z/OS V1.9 Serverpac yesterday with all zFS files for USS. So I went from all HFS to all zFS without issue so far. What I learned from this is that I need to address the naming convention for these files. Since they are now vsam I need to look at a better way of naming then other than SYS1.&SYSNAME.OMVS.ETC.NEW and SYS1.&SYSNAME.OMVS.ETC.OLD. I really liked Mark Jacobs convention of adding the SYSRES volser to the name to keep them unique and in alignment with the Sysres volume being IPLd. I next have to understand some other basic concepts like copying them from one volume to another. Currently I am using FDR with NEWNAME, but I would like to use something more like copytree or pax. But that will take a bit more reading and playing on my part. I will also need to understand how growing the aggregate for a USS file affects the z/OS USS environment. The z/OS V1.9 Serverpac USS files took up a bit more than ½ of a 3390 Mod9. I was hoping to lay two sets down on the same mod9. Thanks again to everyone who helped. It was (and still is) very much appreciated.
