You don't have to do this if they are unique, but it is a safe practice anyway. The sysres root should always be read only (although again, that is not required if each system has its own). >Does this account for the operating system thinking it needs to automount or >automove to another system? > See my last post. What accounts for it is you telling it to mount it / them via BPXPRMxx. But if they were mounted READ only, then the ENQ is SHR and not EXCL and you wouldn't see those messages. I mount all "root" files as read only (java, cics, db2, mvs, mq, was, etc.).
