    Setting IPLType on KG-Syestem versus setting on the (LCP) R-system should be same

    In an LCP setup it is possible to set the IPLTYPE both on the KG-System as on the (LCP) R-System. When setting it on the KG-System it is also propagated to the R-system. The other way around this is not the case. So when setting the IPLTYPE on the...

    GDPS and support for mirroring of volumes related to Controlling LPARs

    If a critical situation occurs and our volumes used for a Controlling LPAR are cleared we must recover the entire LPAR somehow......

    GDPS LCPm must be able to cater for a mixture of virtual and physical airgapped SGC copies in a 4-site MGM configuration

    In a 4-site MGM configuration with a physically air-gapped 5th site, we would like to have the ability to take a SGC in the production (or DR region) and on the 5th site. Currently, GDPS LCPm in a 4-site MGM configuration only supports virtual iso...

    Extend System Recovery Boost for GDPS START SECONDARY and PPRC Failure Freeze

    System Recovery Boost (SRB) is a powerful z/OS capability that accelerates system recovery by temporarily increasing processor capacity and reducing dispatching delays. Currently, SRB is automatically triggered for IPLs and certain planned or unpl...

    MGM resiliency in recovery region

    With MzGM 4-SITE we had resiliency in our recovery region for disk. For example, if C disk (XRC secondaries) died, GDPS/Metro in that region could Hyperswap to D disk and XRC would remain up, capable both of building DR and of doing our daily requ...

    Health check for zIIP processors on KSYS

    It is recommended that reserved zIIP are available in a KSYS and it would be very helpful to have a new Health Check raising a warning if a KSYS LPAR has available zIIP but they are not reserved. This Health Check should be customizable for differ...

    Extend GDPS Hyperswap Support to Linux for IBM Z

    Currently when a GDPS HM Hyperswap occurs, all managed PPRC volumes under z/OS get switched to their secondary site UCB automatically and concurrent while the (z/OS) systems are up and running.Under Linux for IBM Z (in our case RHEL 8.2), to switc...

    Full Hyperswap Support for IDAA on z/OS (SSC)

    In discussions when preparing to start out PoC for IDAA on z/OS GDPS Support, it was shared that Hyperswap is not fully supported in SSC like a z/OS LPAR, and it takes an actual outage because the IDAA instance needs to be restarted after the swap...

    Enhance testing capability of SYSPLEX RESOURCES

    We have a test environment for GDPS/Metro that is contained within one physical disk subsystem. The TEST=YES option is used in the GEOPARM to tolerate this setup. We would like this TEST=YES feature extended to accommodate the SYSPLEX RESOURCE MAN...
