If you are asking about cloning your MVS system in preparation of installing z/OS 1.9, there is a description in the Planning for Installation manual. Also search the archives of this list and of IBM-MAIN-ARCHIVES. Old posts from IBM-MAIN have been deleted and moved to the IBM-MAIN-ARCHIVES list and you'll find a lot of information about cloning there. If you are asking about creating another LPAR, You'll need to define it in your IODF. You'll also need to do some work on the HMC to get it ready to activate. The HCD should be helpful. The ABCs of z/OS System Programming Redbooks should also be helpful.
