    Recover data sets from full volume dumps on TCT

    To be able to recover a single data set from a full volume dump on TCT would be a nice enhancement. A use case would be Db2 System Backup that uses DFSMS Copy Pools and gives Db2 the possibility to recover a single table space by extracting the re...

    Support for backup/recover using TCT

    Like the support for migrate/recall using TCT it would be a good idea to have that possibility for bakup/recover using TCT.

    Messages to note which phase of automatic space management is running, such as extent reduction, expire data sets, etc..

    HSM executes many functions when automatic space management begins. The customer would like to see a message issued when HSM performs one of the individual functions of "PASS 1". It performs the following under "PASS 1".Pass 1 of DFSMShsm-managed ...

    Allow RACF to protect the Enable attach/detach crypto as a separate class of device from non-crypto devices

    With the expansion of security concerns surrounding workload and therefore the increase in demand for crypto functionality. It has become imperative that we control the access to the crypto domains, which could be done by restricting attach/detach...

    HSM recycle integrate with BVIR when TS7700T is in place

    When recycle runs, sometimes when there is a huge cleanup or more tapes to be recycled, for environments that have TS7700T, HSM recycles tapes with its own criteria. Instead, if it can integrate BVIR data and perform the recycle, this helps in a f...

    HSM should correctly calculate tape utilization by taking zEDC compression into account.

    As more customers are expected to adopt zEDC compression in the future, HSM should evolve to handle it appropriately.The following two are examples of defects. 1. Unnecessary RECYCLE triggered by a miscalculation of the PCT VALID value caused by z...

    Virtualize System Recovery Boost (SRB) so z/OS guests can exercise SRB code paths.

    For z/OS development environments hosted as z/VM guests, this would enable System Recovery Boost code paths to be exercised for things like SMF records, etc.

    For Migrated IAM datasets Store IAMINFO and IAMAIX FPLs in the non-VSAM MIGRAT catalog entry that would indicate this is an IAM dataset and store associations (AIX/Path).

    Right now, HSM does not work in full compatibility with IAM. HSM doesn’t understand the associations of the IAM data set. For example, if customer issues HDELETE for cluster, HSM only deleted Cluster not AIX/Path. To overcome from it, IAM issue DE...

    SSHD Support for zVM OS

    SSHD support directly in VM would allow for modern tooling to connect and utilise the platform. Version control of config files via GIT for example.
