We make extensive use of HCs and alarm those deemed important/relevant, so yes, a very good idea. Would that be a NetView or GDPS HC?
Makes sense to us to show that as a healthcheck.
Sounds reasonable
The impact is high so agree with putting in health check. Medium priority.
sounds good to us
Voted and agree. Healtchecks are very useful!
Sounds reasonable. I suppose when there is a messy, over-complicated process in place that is required to run the software, (like using and managing 100s of auto operators), we can either a) write warnings and healthchecks to alert us when the messy and overly complicated processes have not been correctly implemented, or b) we could simplify the way it works.
Added health checks are important.
I may not understand fully, but this sounds like an software deployment issue. If a HC can verify that all systems have the correct levels, that would be great. If the deployment process is sound, this would be a low priority.
If a health check can prevent an outage, by default it should be created.
There are / can be many HC's for "things we might have missed". Too many to implement them all.
But looking at the impact (loose all Images sysplexwide), we voted for this.
Just a typo (using O or 0) can already be a disaster. Please have a HC give a heads up before instead of sysplex wide down situation after the fact.
Voted and agree. Healtchecks are very useful!
Additional Health Checks can be useful for determining where configuration items have not been properly done.
