Improvements in KG movement operation when performing a GM leg movement in GDPS MGM3SITEs

In our opinion, and knowing that it is not the same, we believe that the KG should have two instances in Region A and pass on the role of ‘primary gm’ depending on whether we have the GM leg in A.RS1 or A.RS2. We have carried out a simulation of t...

Progress Feedback for GDPS Script Verification

Currently, when a GDPS script is initiated, there is no feedback provided to the initiator during verification, leading to uncertainty about whether the process is underway. This lack of feedback can cause confusion and unnecessary actions by oper...

The GDPS monitor should not report an error when the GM session is paused during scheduled captures in the Cybervault environment.

In our Cybervault environment, we take a capture every 8 hours at 2am, 10am, and 6pm. During each capture, the GM session is paused, which is normal behaviour; however, GDPS detects that the GM session isn't running and generates an alert: GEO645E...

Dual control function for DASD Config

Within the DS8K there is protection in place that a (malicious) person is not able to delete/alter devices that are part of safeguarded copies. We have a cybervault LCP setup to ensure we have immutable backups of our systems, and activated Dual C...

Change CFRM Policy and update Normal CFRM Policy via SCRIPT (GDPS Metro)

During our Site Switch process, we use USERPROC (REXX program) to set a site-specific CFRM policy because of the way we manage structures. It would be great if we could do that using GDPS script or, even if updated via REXX, it would be great to h...

Dual control function for Policy mgmt

In GDPS you can make changes to your policies in option 1 Dasd Remote Copy > 2 Policy Mgmt. With the new GDPSADMIN.DASDCTL profiles the protection possibilities have increased, but having this changed under dual control would be a good improvem...

LCP: tagging/untagging using script or NetView command

Currently, the only way a capture can be tagged or untagged is from panel VPCPLCS0. Being able to take these actions using a NetView command or a GDPS script would help develop unattended procedures.
