Provide facility to recover a subset of LCP (Safeguard) volumes

Currently LCP (Logical Corruption Protection) "recovery sets" are managed as a single entity collection of volumes and the recovery process handles them as a complete set. This enhancement would allow definition of a subset of the full recovery set to be defined and used for recovery of fewer volumes than the complete set.

    .After giving the request a comprehensive review, we have determined that we cannot include it as a candidate in an upcoming release because it won?t be pursued within our planning cycle.

    Any additional validation options for LCP copies is welcome to us

    Would enable faster validation. i.e If you know where the corruption is but don't know when it happened. Restoring single volumes would allow faster identification of how far back you may need to go, without having to do full restorations each time.

    I voted for this, but I feel it has a very limited use case.

    Same as LBG.

    This requirement is not applicable to LBG within the next two years as we don't have LCP and no firm plans to implement at this stage.

    Fine suggestion.
    This method would also bring the benefit that we could validate on subset of volumes(from 1 to more) before doing the full recovery.
    Meaning a test option. I like the idea.
    I guess rename of volser is not an option when doing LCP recover, but that would as well bring us an option to get a 'shadow volume' available on original system without bringing up the entire Recovery sysplex 'just for validations'?
