LPAR/System Status Tracking within GDPS

GDPS will keep track the statu of the LPAR/System and display in the Standard Actions Panel. When a user perform an action against a LPAR/system, the status will change accordingly (e.g. after using GDPS to activate an LPAR, the status will change to ACT-ED). However, currently the status of the Site 1 and Site 2 LPARs are not kept separately and when we perform an action against the Site 2 LPAR using GDPS (by selecting the ABNORMAL entry in the GDPS Site Table), the status of the LPAR/system in Site 1 will change even we select the "NORMAL" entry in the Site Table after the required action for Site 2 LPAR is done.

GDPS should keep the status of the LPAR/system in Site 1 and Site 2 (NORMAL/ABORNMAL entry in Site Table) separatley and only update the status of the LPAR/system after an action is perform against the LPAR in corresponding site.

    After giving the request a comprehensive review, we have determined that although we agree that the proposed enhancement is desirable, we cannot include it as a candidate in an upcoming release because it cannot be delivered within our planning cycle.

    Medium priority. It is important that the GDPS reflects the real scenario at DR.

    Low – Could be helpful at some situations. We have covered most of such situations with planned/unplanned scripts.

    An interesting problem, although we haven't had a case to encounter it. Seems to require a different "keying" mechanism for tracking. Might find a use for it, yet.

    Medium - Consistent tracking is always of importance, so correct and meaningful display are a must, especially at DR time.

    See this as low priority item as there would be risks around this as well as benefits.

    It is interesting.

    This option reduces the time to move systems to their backup LPAR and is helpful in DR test scenarios.

    Medium - Having the capabilities of managing the LPARs independently would be beneficial.

    Low priority.

    We also think it is an advantage to be able to activate the ABNORMAL LPAR's in case of a DR-test before shutting down production systems in their NORMAL LPAR's.
