I put the initial installation on the maintenance volumes (5xxW01, 5xxW02, etc) and then copy the necessary minidisks to my production volumes (VMxRES, VMxnnn, etc). On my system, the 5xxRES, 5xxWnn volumes belong to my maintenance system that I run second level. If I inherited an existing system using the 5xxRES/5xxWnn volumes as production, I would still place the DFSMS/VM minidisks on the 5xxWnn volumes because this is an IBM product and should go with the other IBM code.
