Isn’t the /etc provided by Serverpac just a sample which you may merge with 
your ‘real’ /etc ?. If you are running in a sysplex /etc is a link to 
/&SYSNAME/etc. I place the Serverpac ETC file system on the sysres pack and 
only mount it (at a temporary mount point) to merge its files with the 
operational ETC file system for a specific system. If Serverpac changes /etc 
for a new release I compare its files with those of the operational /etc and 
adjust the new operational /etc if appropriate.
