    PowerVC HMC connection to use sshkey

    The HMC connection should allow for ssh keys to stop relying on the hmc username and particularly password. As our HMC Password is meant to change once used. So using a public/private key after the first authentication is necessary.

    Need of merge of information from PowerVC to another PowerVC

    We have two "old" PowerVC and want to move them into one new PowerVC. Currently we can only backup and restore one PowerVC to another but second cannot be integrated. We need to be able to move Hosts or a complete PowerVC into another PowerVC with...

    Support Hybrid Network Virtualisation (HNV) on PowerVC

    When adding a new Network we would like to have the option besides SEA and vNIC to also have the possiblity to select a HNV network device. Adding this "Migratable SRIOV" adapter is already supported by HMC since some time, but there is no Support...

    Preferred node support for IBM SVC stretched cluster / PBHA

    In a IBM (enhanced) stretched cluster or a PBHA (Hyperswap) implementation, it is necessary that the preferred node of a LUN is on the same site then the VM is running. Otherwise every IO has to go twice over the ISL's, because the multipath drive...

    Check storage host mappings before deleting a LUN

    Customer has mapped outside from PowerVC LUNs from source VM1 to destination VM2. Both VMs are managed by PowerVC and yes this was not the correct way to move LUNs between VMs. Then he deleted VM1 and loses VM2 completely, while running productive...

    PowerVC event and audit logging to SIEM (e.g. QRadar)

    We have a security requirement to centrally gather logs from various network devices, including PowerVC, in a SIEM (QRadar in our case).Currently PowerVC does not provide such option.

    PowerVC SAN zone creation feature request

    Currently, PowerVC creates HBA or WWPN specific SAN zones. Since the SAN fabrics can contain aliases and zones that are not necessarily PowerVC related, this can result in a SAN administration nightmare. I would like to see PowerVC create LPAR/VM ...

    More detailed user and role management in Power VC (based on Openstack Identity)

    More detailed role and user management. In large installations and in environments with high security restrictions, such as banks, it is crucial to very precisely manage user rights and their roles, so I am asking you to expand these functionaliti...

    Enable volume sharing and set storage template on multiple volumes in GUI

    When multiple storage volumes are being created or onboarded through PowerVC GUI, the volume sharing and set storage template options can only be done on one volume at a time. This is very time consuming and laborious job from the GUI when the num...

    Export shared storage pool images from PowerVC

    It would be nice to be able to back up the shared storage pool images using the new regular backup command or something similar. Using "dd" as the doc suggests works of course but it's definitely not user-friendly... and it could lead to huge prob...
