If it were me, I'd use DFDSS to copy with rename the filesystems. If applicable, IPL onto the new ones, before deleting the old ones. I use DFDSS to clone filesystems as a regular part of maintenance. If they are mounted READ only, then the DFDSS job can be run anywhere. If mounted RDWR, you need to either unmount, or expect DFDSS to temporarily quiesce the filesystem from updates while running.

Is it possible to convert my z/OS system ZFS files from SMS Extended to Non-SMS datasets? What would be the process? Repro out and back? Is there a simpler way? I know technically this works fine, but I don’t like my system datasets being SMS managed and the previous person here set this up.
