What I do is this :- 1. Check that the last cylinder is not in use on the starter system volumes (no starter system from IBM that I have ever seen uses cyl 3338).
2. Label new volumes with whatever label meets your local standard. 3. Define a Userid on your 1st level system that will be used to run your 2nd level system (i.e. VMLEV2) 4. Define RW minidisks for VMLEV2 starting at CYL 1 to END on the new volumes. 5. Logon to VMLEV2 and DDR copy the real system volumes to you minidisks. You will get 'Source is bigger than target' but this is OK. 6. Detach the real system volumes and IPL from the Minidisk that you have just copied the SYSRES to. Voila - you have a 2nd level copy of your system with spool integrity maintained and no duplicate volume labels.
