Yes. I forgot to mention but we also following same way. We have two set of RES volume Primary and Alt and we apply RSU on Alt RES volume and once systems are stable with this then we clone this volume to Primary RES volume and run system from that .
But my issue is, as these three systems are running with same z/OS version and have common RES volume but two different root file systems are involved. While applying RSU, root file system is getting affected. So, do I need to apply RSU separately in SYS01 and SYS02 systems. Or is there any other way of doing this.
