No need to vary them off.
The 530res pack in Maint's 123 mdisk and the 530spl is Maint's 122 mdisk.
DDR the 123 and 122 to another volume.
Here are the steps I suggested to one of my customers recently:
*1. Duplicate the current z/VM system volumes* :
1. DDR 530RES(maint's 123), 530W01 (Maint's 12x), 530SPL(Maint's 122) to
new volumes. (Are there more than 1 spool volumes?)
*2. Bring up the copied volumes in a 2nd level z/VM system*.
1. Use the userid IBMUSER
2. Add to the option line in the user direct LNKNOPAS to IBMUSER
3. once logged to IBMUSER attach the new system volumes (and 1
unmodified volume) from the MAINT userid.
1. Configure virtual machine for 2^nd level with following commands:
1. term conmode 3270
2. def 009 xxx where xxx is the addr of you ipl console
2. IPL rrrr CLEAR where rrrr = the address of the new 530res pack.
(clear the screen if needed and respond to prompts)
3. log off operator
4. logon maint
*3. Make changes to 2^nd level system*
*1. Modify the SYSTEM CONFIG file on maint's CF1 mdisk*
1. cprel a
2. link maint cf1 cf1 mr
3. acc cf1 f
4. x system config f
5. change all volser from current 530RES, 530SPL, 530W01 etc to new volsers.
6. Update the system id with system id of lpar being configured.
7. Add “*vmlan macprefix 020001” *to the file if it doesn't exist and
should be different from current system.
8. Update the VSWITCH definition with OSA card addresses.
9. Save the file.
10. Run syntax checker
1. access 193 g
2. CPSYNTAX SYSTEM CONFIG F
11. Return CF1 disk back to system
1. release f(det
2. CPACCESS MAINT CF1 A
*2. Modify the USER DIRECT file*.
1. Make backup copy:
1. Copy USER DIRECT C USER DIROLD C (oldd
2. X USER DIRECT
3. Remove the userids that are ONLY on this system such as the linux
guests. If these need to be on the 2^nd system they should be created
there later with new dasd volumes.
4. Change all references using 530 volumes to new volser name convention.
5. Save user direct
*3. Relabel the packs using CPFMTXA. Use only the label command*.
*4. Reload the updated directory with the DIRECTXA command*.
1. Do this now that the VOLSER in the USER DIRECT file matches the new
volser
*4. Restart the system using SHUTDOWN REIPL command*. ( warm start will
fail because of the volser changes)
The 2^nd level system should now be able to be IPLED in the new LPAR.
The changes done to this system under step 3(except 3.2.3) can now be
done to the current system. You may need to hold off your changes to the
VSWITCH definition until the current system can be ipled on the z10.
This would then have both systems using your volser standards.

This might work for you.
Being that everything is new and nothing has changed, create a second
system (first level) and some how vary off line the volumes from the
first system so the new system doesn't see them.
After you have two z/VM system loaded then zap the volume id's stand
alone to anything you like and adjust accordingly.
After, either system which is IPL'ed will not see duplicate volumes in
the system.
Just getting back into z/VM after two years away for the 4.4 release
so others on the list might have a better way of doing what you want.

We just unloaded z/VM 5.3 and would like to create an alternate RES
and spool pack. Current names are 530RES and 530SPL. Does someone have
simple procedures to create alternate res and alternate spool volumes
so we can IPL off the alternates and leave the original res and spool
untouched. The Guide for Automated Installation and Service shows how
to backup the Res and saved system and segments but the SPXTAPE
utility implies you want to restore to the current spool volume not an
alternate. Also is anyone using symbolics in system config and/or the
user directory like we do in z/OS parmlib? Thanks.
