    Support for 32 TB of real memory per LPAR via feature statement

    Would like to be able to have fewer, larger LPARs. If the reconfigurable memory is the limiting factor, then for cases where reconfigurable/dynamic memory is not needed, it should be possible to include a config file statement that disables/bypass...

    Allow more than 8 coupling facilities to be defined in a CFRM policy structure's PREFLIST

    Currently the maximum CFs per each structure's PREFLIST parameter in a CFRM policy is 8. As a large shop we currently have to simultaneously maintain two policies in our production environment (one for prod and one for logical corruption detection...

    Override CFRM preference list on the SETXCF START command

    Whenever there is the need of reallocating structures over the CFs available on a Sysplex the command SETXCF START,REBUILD,STRNAME is used. This command if used with the option LOC=OTHER will honor the CFRM preference list on the active policy. Th...

    Implenent allocation strategies for CFRM structures as alternative to the preflist

    In the definition of CFRM structures, the preflist statement must be individually coded for each structure. As the environment grows, the number of structures can increase rapidly, making it challenging and error-prone to ensure that the preflist ...

    Enable flashcopy Command for ESE Volumes

    With the new DS8A00 and FCM4 it is necessary to define all Volumes as type ESE (Extended Space Efficent). But we found that the normal flshcopy command under z/VM doesn't either work with ESE-Volumes. You must establish, copy and withdrawn the Fla...
