Usually you don't need to regen a VM/ESA 2.3 system as at IPL time it detects all the hardware (as Dave correctly said).
HCPRIO ASSEMBLE (the equivalent of DMKRIO in VM/370 - VM/SP) is only a skeleton.
I had to regen a VM/ESA as it is unable to detect correctly 3350 and 3330 DASDs, so I defined them in HCPRIO.
The procedure is somewhow similar to VM/370 : assembling HCPRIO (and HCPSYS - HCPSNT if required) and creating the nucleus (that is a MODULE in a special minidisk - CF1).
