I hate to make this more complicated, but if (all of) the LPARs are not connected via a plex or CTC's, then you can't use some of these suggestions.
The reason DASD was used originally with a lot of old time software (think Checkpoint datasets) was because it was available to ALL of the LPARs that could see it. Then I believe things moved on to a VTAM based application that could send data to other VTAM applications, which you could do with TCP/IP now. The point I am trying to make is that you need some "thing" that is available to all of the LPARs to be able to keep them all updated. The mechanism you use to keep that "thing" available and update it without tying up the other LPARs unnecessarily. There are likely things on the CBT tape that would come in useful in this effort.
