I don't understand the quest "How does this really help". I assume you just
want to catalog the zFS datasets with symbolic volume.
I'm guessing you did not define ZFS.ROOT because you say there isn't a VVDS. I
thought that defining a VSAM dataset on a volume would cause the VVDS to be
created. To do a RECATALOG, you will need to uncatalog it (DELETE NOSCRATCH).
I don't have a system available to try it out but I think the commands would be:
DEFINE CL(NAME('ZFS.ROOT') LINEAR TRACKS(100) VOL(RESVOL))
DELETE 'ZFS.ROOT' NOSCR
DEFINE CL(NAME('ZFS.ROOT') LINEAR VOL(&SYSR1) RECATALOG)
