    Additional information needed from Submitter, email sent requesting a meeting to discuss requirements further. Original RFE was declined with the following response "IBM zHyperlink is a PCIe-based point-to-point connected technology and does not have encryption functionality built into the adapter hardware. Clients who require data flowing over zHyperlink to be encrypted should use Dataset level Encryption on IBM Z for protection of that storage data.".
