    HSM buckets characteristics to comply Security CLOUD CIS IBM (Cloud Internet Services)

    Hi, To comply with the security rules (CIS) required by the CLOUD CIS IBM, we need these buckets (stored in the IBM COS) to be created with certain characteristics, but in the HSM it is not allowed to parameterize or modify the creation characteri...

    Assign WLM Service Classes to DFHSM Sub-tasks

    We would like a way to assign different WLM service classes to DFHSM subtasks. Specifically we'd like to assign RECALLs to a high importance/velocity service class and MIGRATEs to a lower importance/velocity service class. Can this be done while t...

    hbdelete - deleting Unix Directories recursively

    We need an option with hbdelete to delete a whole directory with all files and sub-directories. Like option -X for hlist, the same option could be implemented for hbdelete. e.g. hbdelete -aX /u/iz01715/All files and sub-directories will be deleted...

    Make Keylabel persistent in ICF Catalog

    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...

    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...

    Graphic interface for backup/restore USS files with DFSMShsm or "-pick" option similar to TSM-client

    Additionally to the commando interface for backup/restore of USS-files with DFSMShsm it would be very useful for endusers, who use only ssh-connect to USS on z/OS, to have any kind of graphish interface to backup/restore of USS-files similar to TS...

    z/OS with HSM and DB2 backup/restore utilities

    Perform backup system alternate copy pool with many pools

    HSM detaches lower level data mover tasks and produces hundreths of BPXP018I THREAD tttttt, IN PROCESS ppppp ENDED WITHOUT BEING UNDUBBED WITH COMPLETION CODE 0033E000 AND REASON CODE 00000000

    During file backup we get hundreths of BPXP018I with COMPLETION CODE 0033E000. When this is the way how HSM works it would be great to change it and avoid all this messages as the backup function in HSM ends correctly. Putting the BPX018I into MPF...

    BLKSize of 16KB is much less than TapeBlkSZLim of 256K

    DFSMShsm only writes 16K-Blocks to Tape,both for Migration and Backup.Many of our files are greater ones, which would participate much of larger block sizes.

    Fast Replication target volumes that have no UCB should be ignored

    With FR the pool storage group(source) and the COPY POOL BACKUP storage group(target) must not contain predefined devices without UCB. Application data can grow very fast, so we use automated tasks that initialize new volumes. Unfortunatelly, when...
