I am trying to understand about cloning the sysres volume of our z/os 1.12. Our environment is basically a Z9 machine with 1 cpc with only two LPAR images created with no coupling facility(Monoplex).

To clone a sysres volume we are required to peform a indirect cataloging and clone your source sysres to target sysres volume using DFDSMSdss.

Here I have some questions before I Start up with cloning process

1) Here in our shop there are no IEASYMxx member in any of the Parmlib member. Is it something I need to code manually ?

2) I believe there are only two pparmlib members where I have to specify the sysres volumes i.e.. VATLSTxx and COMMANDxx. Just would like to if there are anyother parmlib member that I need to specify the SYSRES volume information ?

3) Are there any Sample JCL which performs indirect cataloging ?

Please advise me. Apology in advance if my questions are not really sensible.
