    GDPS GSM to support 2 site Metro Mirror

    As we are looking at a configuration that has Mainframe and Open system disks, we would need to have a GDPS 2 site Metro Mirror with Mainframe and Open disks in one consistency group, in particular for the hyperswap aspect. However, our target con...

    Backup and restore of GDPS configuration

    Today GDPSMNT can be used to backup and restore. It would make more sense to have a built in interface to take backup and restore interactively or have the possibility to use batch or similar on different point in time.

    Backup GDPS data that is saved in the NetView save/restore database.

    Today, GDPSMNT exists in GDPS Metro and can be used to export and import user-specified GDPS data that is saved in the NetView save/restore database (that is, the DSISVRT dataset). We would like the same tool (or similar) in GDPS Global so we can ...

    recover GM should indicate date and time for the data

    After a stop, when we do a RECOVER GM, we do not know the date and time of the recover. We should find somewhere the date and time of the last good consistency point. This will probably be the first thing ask by management in case of real DR.

    have a TESTCOPY_CAPTURE script in MGM6

    In MGM6, the procedure for a DR test is not included and we must pass manual scripts on different KSYS. You should implement a MGM6SITE_TESTCOPY_CAPTURE with RS2 or 3 as target.

    option to be in sync after a planed hyperswap

    Planned hyperswap must have an option to be directly in sync with the original box. This will avoid a loss of sync for a planned operation.

    planned hyperswap must check for non proxy connected LPAR

    Force planned hyperswap to check the LPAR connected on disks before running the hyperswap. We forgot proxy LPAR on a CU, and the LPAR freeze because of this. We can see in the log that GDPS find not proxy LPAR on the volume but it did the swap any...

    have the possibility to have an empty configuration to prepare a GDPS proxy

    For GDPS preparation (start the netview on production LPAR), we want to be able to load an empty configuration. Once everything is ready, we will load the final config
