Diversified Asymmetric keys

Would like to create diversified asymmetric keys based on a "master/seed" assymmetric key pair.Similar to what we can currently do with diversified symmetric keys. Would like this primarily for ECC.However RSA probably should also be include...And...

BCPII_CBUACTDT delay in update time of 24 hours

The BCPII Parm CBUACTDT has a delay of 24 hours from when a CBU record has been disabled. We are seeking to see that the delay be changed to be 5 min or less because we are looking to build Automation that monitors this and alerts our Performance ...

NPIV support in HCD and IOCP

The NPIV setting of an FCP channel would be better driven from IOCP. In this way, a customer would eliminate a step in configuring FCP channels if NPIV were desired. Hard to imagine that a customer would have two different settings for an FCP chan...
