    CC Quiesce for Planned HS

    At a Planned HS and if GDPS detects CC's I would like to get an WTOR with the Information how many CC are active and the options Quiesce HS, Abort HS, Cancel CC's or Repeat the WTOR to see if there are more or less CC's active.

    Prepare the PMT (Preserver Mirror Tools) to manage the registration/deletion of devices both at the Metro Mirro level and at the MGM level.

    If I'm not confused, currently the PMT can only be run to be able to manage (high/low) devices at the Metro Mirror level. In a GDPS MGM3SITE (or MGM4SITE) environment, we can only use the PMT for the MTMM part. It would be interesting to be able t...

    We would like to be able to specify the LPAR activation profile to be used for an LPAR Activate. I see this as very similar to specifying the Load information (address & parm).

    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...

    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...

    GDPS should automatically clean up from destructive repair operations on storage devices

    We recently had a "B" box outage that required support to utilize the CST process that removes all in memory structures including copy services. This created orphaned secondary pairs in our GDPS Metro Global session. Currently within GDPS we can o...

    Provide the ability to control when MONITOR1 interval runs.

    We would like the ability to control when MONITOR1 interval runs to avoid it running at the same time when we have multiple GDPS K-systems hosted on the same CEC.
