    ABARS - filters in the SYSIN to select the datasets

    We are using ABARS as a backup solution for a new project. However I have to select different datasets, including GDG's and I cannot find a way to use DFSMSDss resources in my ABARS (ABACKUP) SYSIN. As far as I can see I can only use INCLUDE and E...

    Allow ML2 parameter for the MIGRATE SG and MIGRATE VOLUME parameters.

    Customers may encounter a situation where their HSM ML1 volumes have filled and yet they still need more space in the storage groups for production data. Customers can use the MIGRATE SG command or the MIGRATE VOLUME command. However, the ML2 subp...

    Improve HSM ML1 migration volume selection by considering fragmentation

    When HSM attempts to migrate a data set to an ML1 volume, it only considers free space available on the volume. Unfortunately, in an environment with large volume sizes (like 1TB EAV's), there can be a lot of free space available on a volume, but ...

    Improve HSM messaging around ML1 data set migration failures

    During ML1 migration, HSM selects a volume by examining the space available but it does not consider the fragmentation index for the volumes. In cases where there are many volumes (especially EAV's) with a lot of space available in the overall poo...

    Allow ML1 DASD volume DEFRAG when HSM is active

    Based on a Case that I had opened regarding the use of DFDSS DEFRAG and ML1 DASD volumes, IBM Support mentioned that "...if you want to do defrag the ML1 volumes, you should backup the ML1 volumes first and then shutdown HSM. You should not runnin...

    Allow DHSMSHSM to set a lifecycle policy during bucket creation

    We are using IBM Transparent Cloud Tiering and HSM to migrate data to the cloud. We have had instances where the migration fails, which can result in orphaned "multipart uploads in progress" on the cloud object storage. We have been manually remov...
