I know I am a bit late on this, but do you really want to *share* the OMVS 
environment in an ADCD sysplex of two differing z/OS levels? Not sharing OMVS 
would take care of all error messages, and you already have the infrastructure 
duplicated for each release. Of course, if you plan to later migrate the 1.13 
system in that plex to a 2.1 system using the same sysres's, forget I said 
anything.

Having recently renamed a system that is using the ADCD sysplex setup (making 
it shared HFS/zFS depite being a monoplex), we discovered the hard way how 
asinine the delivered symbolic links are, pointing back and forth in several 
symbolic substitutions. OMVS did come up (and TCPIP came up!), but since /tmp 
was not mounted correctly due to the &SYSNAME having gotten changed, we could 
not even set new paths in OMVS, because that requires tmp to be  available. I 
would not be surprised if you  run into problems like this down the road with 
your semi-shared setup.

Admittedly, yours seems like a later version of my 1.13 ADCD version (in mine 
the root was still an HFS, which we were very grateful for, because we could 
just catalog it on another system and then set the links). Essentially, we 
ended up replacing the symbolic links in the root with hardcoded links and all 
was well again. Of course, this effectively stopped "OMVS sharing". 

But now I have an idea how to remove 'sysplex sharing' of OMVS in my monoplex 
and remove the BPX CDSs, since they are not needed. That will also take care of 
all the complaining OMVS health checks that still don't take into account that 
ieasysxx says PLEXCFG=MONOPLEX, so nobody ever will automove anything away from 
my monoplex. (After 2 years, I am now almost where I want my system to be!)
