    GDPS and support for IPL of Recovery LPARs. To be script executed from GDPS Controlling master

    Lack of support in GDPS related to handling of Recovery sysplexes/proxies when we use GDPS/LCP functionality.
    almost 4 years ago in GDPS 1 Planned for future release

    Let the GDPS automatically perform the 'FCWITHDRAW FC1' if it detects that the extended groups are filling up.

    We currently have an GDPS MGM3SITE configuration and are thinking about defining FC1 disks to be able to perform 'recovery tests in Region B' without affecting the GM copy. FC1 disks are ESE. In testing of filling Extend Pools in TEST environments...

    GDPS 3.14 Check Topology Enhancement

    MGM4SITE_CHECK_TOPOLOGY will stop upon encountering the first error in establishing PPRC pathing. In a 4-site Multi-target configuration this can become cumbersome due to the number of PPRC paths that need to be validated.

    Add Support for Multi-Target Global Mirror Introduced in DS8900F Release 9.4

    This would allow us to take two distinct sets of Safeguarded Copies from a single environment, each set making use of different parameters. For instance, we could thus address the requirements of the business (captures every 30 minutes, kept for 1...

    GEOPARM Validation should include mismatch on Flashcopy Device size.

    It can happen that a storage administrator makes an error when defining volumes causing a mismatch in device size. When activating a new DASD Config, checking is done for device sizes of PPRC source-target devices with FAILONSIZEMISMATCH=YES. Next...
    over 2 years ago in GDPS 1 Not under consideration

    Update GEO2942W to include specific reasons for no captures being released, making it easier to distinguish between different scenarios.

    When there are no eligible captures available for release, GDPS issues an informational message: **GEO2942W ZERO SAFEGUARD CAPTURES WERE RELEASED IN MANAGEMENT PROFILE S1PLEX (AS1KR)** However, there can be different reasons for this, as highlight...
