Thanks, good advice. It's working now. What is this "automount
management" all about?

Yes, given that your DDDEFs are set up for /Service/RESZS1, an apply in
the target zone pointing to RESZS1 will find the right paths.  Review
your APPLY CHECK allocation report to verify, before moving to APPLY.

Since your follow-up note suggests you want to be able to apply
maintenance to this zone from a different LPAR, then eventually be able
to IPL from the SYSRES & HFS, I would discourage using BPXPRMxx to mount
them at IPL.  
Adding mount/unmount to your clone/maintenance process would be better,
and IMHO, automount management would be better still.  Either way, you
still have to be exceedingly careful if you go outside the sysplex (GRS)
boundary (unless you have MIM).
