SPOF health checker support for multivolume datasets and provide selection pattern

1) for DB2 LOGCOPY it is recommended to allocate a stripe format dataset

     The SPOF health checker should check that all of the volumes for DSN1 are on different CUs than for DSN2

     Example : Disk Controller : CU1 with Volser V1, V2 and CU2 with Volser V3, V4

     CU1: V1,  V2

     CU2: V3,  V4

    LOGCOPY1.DS36 : Volser   V1,  V2,  V3,  V4

    LOGCOPY2.DS36 : Volser   V3,  V4,  V1,  V2

    Currently only the first volumes are checked, result: LOGCOPY1 and LOGCOPY2 are on different CUs

    The health checker should check all volumes of the multivolume dataset: result: LOGCOPY1 and LOGCOPY2 are on the same CU

 

2) with a wildcard : '=' the same suffix of  DSN1, DSN2 should be checked

    The list is clearer and all datasets are checked

   Example: LOGCOPY1.DS01 to DS036 checked with LOGCOPY2.DS01 to DS36 

   Instead of writing

   DSN1(LOGCOPY1.DS01)

   DSN2(LOGCOPY2.DS01)

   …..

   DSN1(LOGCOPY1.DS36)

   DSN2(LOGCOPY2.DS36)  

  replace with

   DSN1(LOGCOPY1.=)   

   DSN2(LOGCOPY2.=)
