If you don't already have a process or set of jobs defined to clone your SMP/E environment, I suggest you check out the Deployment action in z/OSMF Software Management. You tell z/OSMF the global zone CSI data set and it figures out all the target and dlib data sets, the CSIs for the target and dlib zones, the other SMP/E data sets... It also updates all the DDDEF entries, ZONEINDEXes, etc to reflect the new names of the cloned data sets. It doesn't care if the source data sets are on a particular volume or have a particular naming convention or in a storage group or whatever. Its quite flexible. Just sayin'.
