    Would like to see that messages in the console events log state why a mirror of the SE was done. Example mirror completed due to scheduled event, or mirror completed due to configuration change.

    Customer would get a better idea on why this was completed. With our case TS020780719 we had a number of mirroring events happening and it wasn't stating what was causing the event. We actually had a this happening in this case. A lot of time hard...

    Confirmation Screen Before Performing An SE Switch

    Would it be possible to have a confirmation screen before an SE Switch is performed? Currently you just select the option and then click ok and it goes off and performs the SE Switch. After clicking ok, could there be a confirmation screen present...

    OSC Support for optical fiber 10G/25G

    The only available speed for OSC on optical fiber is 1G, this is available on z17 with the OSA Express7S 1.2 GbE card. 1G optical fiber is not part of modern network infrastructure, therefore an option to run OSC on modern infrastructure with at l...

    Support automated install/update of OSA-ICC Certificates

    Large environments can have dozens of ICC consoles to support out of band access to TN3270/Master Consoles. If the organization has standards/restrictions around the sharing/reuse of certificates, there's a large operational burden in renewing the...

    Include empty slot locations in channel reports from Machine Info/Resourcelink/Cloud Connect

    When reviewing machine info, we have to manually confirm empty slot locations for potential MES updates. There is no report that shows empty slots by location.

    API messages for Capacity on Demand start

    My customer would like to be able to better automate making sure that they don't exceed their CoD contract. Right now the check is based on when the model number of the CoD'd system changes but it would be useful if an API message/webhook could be...

    Support crypto accelerators in go/crypto / HashiCorp Vault (Enterprise)

    Currently HashiCorp Vault is compiled using a statically linked go/crypto library which doesn't use openssl or openCryptoki. This results in no support for libica on IBM Z / LinuxOne machines and thus lower performance than expected. It would be n...
