    Save environment information -such as IPLINFO- when obtaining an LCP CAPTURE

    When GDPS/LCP makes a capture, no information is obtained from the environment that is running at that moment. If captures last for a long enough time, LOADAddr and LOADparms might have changed, and we may be IPLing that system in a Vault environm...

    GDPS LCP Virtual volume threshold change

    We have a SGC setup in my environment where as i monitor the Virtual volume capacity manually and expand when it reach 60 to 70%. One day i missed to expand for 2days and it full and we lost couple of SGC's. When i investigated about the threshold...

    Progress Feedback for GDPS Script Verification

    Currently, when a GDPS script is initiated, there is no feedback provided to the initiator during verification, leading to uncertainty about whether the process is underway. This lack of feedback can cause confusion and unnecessary actions by oper...

    The GDPS monitor should not report an error when the GM session is paused during scheduled captures in the Cybervault environment.

    In our Cybervault environment, we take a capture every 8 hours at 2am, 10am, and 6pm. During each capture, the GM session is paused, which is normal behaviour; however, GDPS detects that the GM session isn't running and generates an alert: GEO645E...

    Reporting on SGC capture status

    Reporting on SGC capture status needs to be improved. Currently there is no IBM provided automated option to query or report on capture completeness. Only option is manually checking Netlog or the LCP/SGC GDPS panels. To determine if a capture is ...

    Provide an LCP volume validation health check to ensure all required volumes are replicated to the vault

    In, for example an MM2 site with LCP configuration, it is entirely possible that when new disks are cut, they are added to the MM config and GDPS but may be missed from the LCP configuration side meaning that they are never captured in the vault. ...

    Dual control function for DASD Config

    Within the DS8K there is protection in place that a (malicious) person is not able to delete/alter devices that are part of safeguarded copies. We have a cybervault LCP setup to ensure we have immutable backups of our systems, and activated Dual C...

    Change CFRM Policy and update Normal CFRM Policy via SCRIPT (GDPS Metro)

    During our Site Switch process, we use USERPROC (REXX program) to set a site-specific CFRM policy because of the way we manage structures. It would be great if we could do that using GDPS script or, even if updated via REXX, it would be great to h...
