    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...

    z/VM enhancement requested for z/OS GUESTS exploiting HYPERPAV

    Extending the z/VM MSS (Multiple Subchannel Set) management to allow z/VM and its guests exploiting HyperPAV (e.g z/OS).REQUIRED for customers who are close to the 64K limit of UCB in SS0 of LCSS. More details in the attachement.

    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.

    Extent CP Flashcopy with IBM Remote Pair FlashCopy (Preserve Mirror)

    Make IBM Remote Pair FlashCopy also known as Preserve Mirror available for CP Flashcopy. This way flashcopy will not affect the PPRC duplex state and GDPS will not complain. The system stays hyperswap ready during the flashcopy. Which is now not t...

    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...

    Maximum same GDG parallel recall

    In an GDG Extended environment, concurrent recall of too many (up to 999) GDSs may cause issues, the main ones being:1) Flood HSM recall queue with too many recalls, which can be:Too fast: With BATCH_RCLMIGDS(PARALLEL) in ALLOCxx all 999 recalls w...

    Add a possibility to limit the number of parallel tasks to prevent S878 ABENDing HSM STC

    During recover of over 1000 datasets we increased the maximum recover tasks step by step to 12. Once we reached 12 HSM STC itself ABENDed because of a S878 because of a storage constraint below the line. This is documented as works-as-designed: ht...

    As z/VM RACF is not sharing with z/OS anymore we need a z/VM face on RACF, remove irrelevant CLASSes

    As z/VM RACF is not sharing with z/OS anymore we need a z/VM face on RACF, remove irrelevant CLASSes. IBM no longer permits the sharing of RACF DB's with z/OS and z/VM. So why have irrelevant RACF classes visible in z/VM? It is confusing when scan...

    Remove all references to JES on output of RACF commands on z/VM

    I consider this an incorrout defect. My idea is to remove any references to JES and additional z/OS references that have no bearing on the z/VM product. It is distracting and confusing to me a VM sysprog. As RACF is pulling apart on z/VM from the ...
