Unfortunately, that system is not up and z/OSMF is set to "connect" to
our sandbox. I IPL'd that system but the IZU* tasks do not start (no
RACF Started class profile defined either).

As I understand your scenario, you have two z/OS systems, a driving system
(call it A) where the z/OSMF server is running and a target system (call it B),
and you want to install z/OS 2.5 into the existing master catalog for system B.
Currently you have selected A as the target system for the deployment.
Unfortunately Software Management does not have support for installing into an
existing alternate master catalog. Yes it can install into the driving
system's master catalog, or create and install into a brand new master catalog,
but it does not install into an existing master catalog that is not the driving
system's active master catalog. As a circumvention, is B IPL’d? Is a z/OSMF
server running on B? If so, then define system B in the z/OSMF Systems task
and select it as the target system for the deployment instead of selecting A.

Okay, more issues. As I stated, we use a permanent maintenance volume/system.
With ServerPac, we could define an SSA and have the SYSRES datasets cataloged
in our maintenance systems master cat then ServerPac would allocate the dataset
using an SSA. later it would generate jobs to remove the SSA.
Unless I’m missing something, this doesn’t seem possible with z/OSMF because
the Modify Catalog section doesn’t let us change the master cat
(even though it says it will). The only way I see around that is to
rename the SYSRES dataset with the SSA. Of course we would then need to
create our own rename job to remove the SSA. Jeez, COME ON PEOPLE!
We were told z/OSMF would provide the same functionality as ServerPac but I
guess not.

We are installing z/OS 2.5 via z/OSMF and are using the Modify
Deployment screens. We can easily change the volumes, HLQs, etc, but
wanted to modify the Primary and/or secondary allocation and don’t see a way to
do that.
We have a case opened with IBM and have been told there is no way to do
that and no plans for it in the future. What? We could do that with
the ServerPac, why not with z/OSMF? I was under the impression that
z/OSMF would provide most functions that ServerPac provided.
So, is that capability not going to be provided?
