After installation I rename as follows:
1. The installation of new releases of z/VM will be installed using
IBM defined VOLSERs. The VOLSERs for production z/VM systems will be
renamed as follows, for information on how to change the VOLSERs, please
see Changing VM VOLSERs:
IBM Default
Production
Description
nnnRES
mmxRES
SYSRES
nnnSPL
mmxSP1
Spool Volume 1
nnnPAG
mmxPG1
Page Volume 1
nnnW01
mmxW01
Work Volume 1
Where nnn is the base release, i.e. 530
Where mm is the base release, i.e. 53 and x is a sequence letter, i.e. A
2. Every effort will be made to define and add POOL and PAGE
volumes as full volumes.
Thank you,
Scott

Subject: Migration questions
We're running z/VM 5.3. On our system, we use VM1RES, VM1SPL, and
VM1PGx as our volsers.
Now, I know that when migrating to z/VM 5.4, I'll end up with 540RES,
540SPL, etc.
What do other shops do regarding volsers when migrating? We have 2
z/VM systems (all running z/Linux guests).
Thanks
