It clearly states that ALTER is needed for the userid that runs ZFS (yes, OMVSUS2 is assigned to ZFS). It is also clearly not the whole truth. On my originating system, OMVSUS2 can mount all ZFSs just fine, and it does NOT have ALTER access to any of them; it doesn't even appear in the access list at all. This system is set up the same way, and it doesn't work here. After giving ALTER access to OMVSUS2 it STILL does not work. Assuming that this is due to dataset profiles being cached, I restarted ZFS. After which ishell doesn't work anymore (some sort of spawn error). I mounted the ZFS via batch job, and now it is mounted, according to the diplay bpxoinit. So at least it doesn't have anything to do with my SMS changes. Load off. > 'sys1.testzfs' (lower case) does not exist. True. It mounted without a problem once I used uppercase. The reason is probably that HLQ SYS1 (according to IBM ADCD's setup) is not protected by RACF, and I haven't been brave enough to attempt corrections on my own. Did I mention I hate OMVS? This is the second time that something related to RACF/OMVS works on one system but not on another when the setup is identical. Or looks identical in all the obvious places. I also hate that things work when they clearly shouldn't, according to the documentation. That makes problem determination soooo much easier! Thanks to all who took the time to respond to my plea for help!
