I have been going through the new z/vm 6.3 cookbook that uses sfs for many functions. I set up a 2 member SSI cluster using the previous z/vm 6.3 redbook but used name "POOL1" for the common service filepool name during the install and would like to change it to VMPSFS. Any way to change this? Also, in the redbook they format a disk for use by vmses/e (address 1564/label vv1564 in the book) but then it is never referenced again.

The LNX SFS pool in the new book is a totally different thing. It gives every guest a small writeable A disk on the SFS pool while there is still a common readonly directory that can hold bigger files like kernel and initrd. You can just keep POOL1 minidisk pool, and setup the LNX SFS with minidisks from that pool.
