If the clusters are not currently defined, no problem. DEFINE CL (NAME(cluster) 
VOLUME(volser) LINEAR RECATALOG). (All ZFS's are Linear VSAM).

If they are currently defined, there are 2 solutions to this:

1) Move the HLQ (presumably OMVS) to a UCAT and provide uniqueness at qualifier 
2  or "lower level" qualifiers. I use the LLQ. 
Remember to modify BPXPRM** to include the files/mountpoints.

2) Alter the files to SYS1. This will allow RECATALOG to function. Only 
datasets with SYS1 or PAGE as the HLQ can be handled w/DEFINE RECATALOG. 
Step one may have to be performed as  temporary measure to get from here to 
there.

The SERVERPAC does create the ZFS's w/ALLOC, however this can also be done in 
JCL. (sample below).

//DEFINE   EXEC   PGM=IDCAMS                                            
//SYSPRINT DD     SYSOUT=X                                              
//SYSIN    DD     *                                                     
  DEFINE CLUSTER (NAME(clustername          ) -                 
   LINEAR CYL(xxxxx 0)      SHAREOPTIONS(3,3)  -                        
   ...                   -               
                                                      ))                
//* Format VSAM Linear Data Set as ZFS Multiple File System Aggregate   
//TMP      EXEC   PGM=IOEAGFMT,REGION=0M,                               
// PARM=('-aggregate clustername        -compat -size 900720 -grow xxxxxx') 
//*STEPLIB DD DISP=SHR,DSN=hlq.SIOELMOD    <--LOADLIB FOR ZFS     if not in 
LNKLST/LPALST     
//SYSPRINT DD   SYSOUT=X                                                
//STDOUT   DD   SYSOUT=X                                                


HTH,

<snip>
I have a copy of a DASD volume that contains some OMVS (ZFS) filesystems.
I realized that I cannot use ISPF 3.4 to catalog the dataset.  I get a VSAM 
DATA SET error.  Looking in at DFSMS AMS I find a RECATALOG option for a couple 
of DEFINEs.  But the ZFS files are created via ALLOC and not a DEFINE CLUSTER.  
The ALLOC does not appear to have a RECATALOG option.

Is there a way to get these OMVS/ZFS files cataloged?
