Advanced Audit for DFHSM - FIXAUDIT volume too much for default HSM ODS Allocation

When there is a sizable amount of commands being issued to DFHSM by a FIXAUDIT process, the DFHSM ODS file quickly exhausts its default space allocation which leads to DFHSM receiving an S878-10 abend and shutting down. In this example, once the O...

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...

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...

We are at a stage where we are starting to have pervasive encryption. So we need to be able to know at any point in the life of a record, whether it is active or migrated, whether it is encrypted or not and what key was used. We need that for our...

selecting tape volumes to be recycled, or excluded from recycle process, by sms tape storage group

Today's DFHSM RECYCLE command allows to include/exclude volumes by volser range, or volser list, or tape residence. It would be nice to have an option to select volumes using the sms tape STORAGEGROUP as criterion. This would help in keeping to se...

Allow HSM to have a provision for date/time overwrite in MIGRATE command (same as BACKDS).

Currently the only way to update the original date/time when a file is migrated is with a PATCH command. Please allow HSM MIGRATE command to set this date like the BACKDS command does

Automate HSM RECYCLE and EXPIREBV commands by ARCCMDxx

For maintenance purposes, it would be very functional to have the possibility of scheduling an automatic window in ARCCMDxx to execute RECYCLE / EXPIREBV commands on specific days and times. This would remove the need to run batch jobs to execute ...
