    Toggle the way BRMS handles message ID CPD33A8

    Dear IBM Team, Our organization supports a large number of IBM i customers, and our monitoring tools generate alerts whenever a backup failure occurs. I'd like to propose an enhancement that introduces a configurable option (e.g., a toggle setting...

    Add "Tape Library" or "Location" to the STRMNTBRM command.

    The STRMNTBRM command currently lacks parameters for explicitly specifying a tape library or BRMS location. In environments with multiple tape libraries, each mapped to distinct BRMS locations, this limitation results in incomplete tape initializa...

    BRMS to ignore some non-critical errors when saving spools

    BRMS does stop save procedure in some cases of non-cricital errors like saving QUSRSYS with some spool files damaged. It would be preferrable to have BRMS by default ignore the errors, post more detailed information into DSPLOGBRM and continue sav...

    Make Last Saved Info Object Information visible on production partition when BRMS backup occurs on Flashcopy partition

    To improve Production up-time, we have adopted a Backup strategy where the IBM i production partition is flash copied to a backup partition. BRMS is used to do a full save of the backup partition to tape media. This means the SAVE object informati...

    Low latency interpartion communication on Power.

    Idea is about improvement of inter-partition communication on Power. As a part of our internal PoC project we have been reqested to measure latency between virtual lpars running on one hardware ( POWER 9) and compare results with results between v...

    LPM exchanges vNIC servicing VIOS every time

    We are using two power systems with vNIC virtualisation. Because we want to know which vios is using which ethernet adapter we select vio1 for servicing vNICs running on adapter cards c1 and c2 and vio2 for servicing adapter cards c8 and c9 (examp...

    Implement a virtual SAN switch in the PHYP

    Instead of passing a virtual WWN via NPIV, implement a virtual SAN switch and use the the VIOS FC adapters for ISLs. This would simplify the LPAR configurations (only one VFC per fabric, while preserving the redundancy vis-a-vis a VIOS failure/res...
