After a BCS recovery, some entries in the recovered BCS might not
accurately reflect the current characteristics of a data set or VSAM
object. The VVDS, VTOC, and tape labels should contain the accurate
information for existing data sets. Data sets can only be recataloged into the
catalog specified in the VVR/NVR unless they are *pagespace*, swapspace or
SYS1 data sets.

Now, this is not really all that clear, but basically it means that a
PAGESPACE or any type of VSAM file whose DSN starts with SYS1. can be
simultaneously cataloged in multiple z/OS ICF (normal) catalogs. So all you
need to do for something like a PAGESPACE data set in your z/OS 2.1 master
catalog, run a job like
//PAGESPCE EXEC PGM=IDCAMS
//SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=*
//SYSIN DD *
DEFINE PAGESPACE( -
NAME(PAGE.BUBBA.COMMON) -
FILE(VOLSER) -
VOL(volser) -
RECATALOG) -
CAT(new.master.catalog)
/*
//VOLSER DD DISP=OLD,UNIT=SYSDA,VOL=SER=volser
The above works for _any_ page space, regardless of the DSN. And it works
for any VSAM file whose name starts with SYS1. Such as SYS1.BUBBA.MAN1
