GDPS/MTMM Automation enhancement to issue an Informational/Warning Message before varying an Application Lpar out of plex.

As a reult of Site1 BCOPY Disk failure (Rank Failure) GDPS Performed a Hyperswap in error to the failed disk thereafter it quiesced the Application Lpar's before taking it out of the plex.
This was identified to be a bug with GDPS. Ref APAR :PH06087.
As a result of this the SITEB Control Lpar had also failed.
While this happened there wasnt any Informational or Warning Message issued to the Syslog.
This lead to a delay in recognising that the application Lpars had failed.
We would like a warning message to be issued to the Syslog by the system performing the quiesce.

    The RFE title states the WTO should be issued before the unplanned HyperSwap (UHS) process removes a system from the sysplex. while we agree with the concept of issuing a WTO on the k-sys after the UHS to syslog, we will issue the WTO after the UHS process completes.

    Hello,

    We accept the recommendation to issue an informational message once the Unplanned Hyperswap condition completes.
    However we need to ensure that the message is issued regardless of whether the UHS condition completed successfully or not.
    Its just that if ever it is varying systems out of sysplex it should be written out in bright lights.

    Regards,
    Arun

    The RFE title states the WTO should be issued before the unplanned HyperSwap (UHS) process removes a system from the sysplex. while we agree with the concept of issuing a WTO on the k-sys after the UHS to syslog, we think its best to issue the WTO after the UHS process completes. will this meet your objective?
