So a few things happened here. First I had the issue with the Discovery failing stating it could not talk to my ACWB 2.1 lpar from my driving ACWA 2.3 lpar.
After looking at all the manuals I could not figure out the reason for the failure, given my understandings in my first email. This lead me to start over. So yes I had a fully populated IZUPRMxx member however when I attempted to start my z/osmf it kept giving me an error about the /var/zosmf/data/home/izusvr directory not found. This was after I moved it to /global/zosmf/data/home/izusvr So yes I ran the izuconfig.SH member. This did 2 things. It verified that all my variables and parms where correct so something else was wrong. Next I found the APAR/PTF that actually moved the montpoint for /global/zosmf, however the ALU for user IZUSVR was not run plus I could not find it documented in the z/OSMF config manual to change from /var/zosmf...... to /global/zosmf/........ It was only in the holddata. After I did that everything started correctly. So your correct it was not izusetup.sh and I didn’t need to run anything. So that was my missing piece. Now everything is working as designed. Now for my comment about the whole process........ Using z/OSMF for the migration is a horrible. First its formatted on a screen and with all the header information in z/OSMF you only seeing a screen that’s severely reduced in size. Then when you click to expand you have to jump tabs to details, notes, ETC to see the data, where as the manual was very easy to digest and put together a sheet with upgrade tasks. Unless I am missing something new in z/OSMF to make this fullscreen its very cumbersome and tedious. I am glad I found the exploded version that I used first because that was fullscreen and very easy to use. I still would prefer the manual but this is a valid work around. I don’t see z/OSMF as anything usable, but that’s just my opinion after doing this for 35 years and tons of upgrades.

That was made obsolete way back on z/OS V2.1 with APAR PI54286 (2016), to move to the "modern" parmlib (IZUPRMxx) method. I hope you still aren't using that, and don't have the server running on your z/OS V2.1 system but rather on a higher system in your sysplex. You are running your server on your V2.3 system, correct?
