Hi James You do not need to use /Service to perform mainmtenance.
You can mount your maintenance target HFS/ZFS files at ANY mountpoint, just so long as your DDDEF PATH statements match. You could even create mount points as /IPLVOL - same names as your IPL volume VOLSER. Hope that helps Regards Bruce --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Hi John, You mention using ZONEEDIT to point the DDDEFs into Never-Never Land to stop production dataset being updated by accident. All our DDDEFs use the volume so the targets always points at the correct datasets but this doesn't work for our HFS or ZFS because they need to be mounted at /Service. We then ZONEEDIT the DDDEFs to point at /Service instead of /, this needs to be changed back to / when finished. This works but when I was starting out applying maintenance to Zos I did make a mistake and had not done the ZONEEDIT to change / to /Service and mount the HFS because it wasn't an issue for the other products I did SMPE for at the time. Is there a better way to deal with the HFS or ZFS DDDEFs?
