    Add documentation for changing the "drvlanmap" and "drvswitchmap"

    Please update the VM Recovery Manager documentation to include how to change the "drvlanmap" and "drvswitchmap" parameters from the command line. The actual commands are misleading because they specify changing the "vlanmap" and "vswitchmap", but,...

    Add HMC authentication testing and displaying HMC authentication error output

    When the HMC password is changed manually through the HMC but KSYS's stored HMC password is not updated, the auto-nightly discover/verify processes continue to succeed until the HMCs are rebooted, which disconnects KSYS's authenticated session. (1...

    Handle VMs removed from HMC but not VMRDR

    VMs removed from the HMC need to be removed automatically from KSYS or a warning displayed about the "orphaned" VM during the discover process.

    Display current phase for each workgroup in the GUI

    In the GUI, display the current phase of every workgroup for both "Rehearsal Phase" and "Move Phase". More workgroups can add more confusion about which workgroup is in which phase during testing or real DRs. It would be helpful if the GUI were al...

    Provide capability to use non-root user onVM Recovery Manager HADR

    VMRM HADR 1.4.0.2 requires that all operations, CLI and GUI, are configured and managed using the root user. The GUI sends commands to the AIX KSYS instance using ssh but it is standard practice for Banks to change /etc/ssh/sshd_config to the foll...

    Automatically add PHA cluster to KSYS setup

    It would be useful if the Setup of the KSYS server would automatically create a single node PHA cluster.

    VMRM DR - Fail "verify" when rehearsal LPAR sees extra disks causing move failure

    Please add checking for the correct number of disks to be part of either the "discover" or "verify" process (or both) since having the correct number of disks is a required part of the "move" process. When the incorrect number of flashcopy disks a...

    VMRDR needs to handle SSH login security banners displayed by a storage_agent

    When running a discover on a workgroup, if the remote storage_agent (like a FS9200) has a security login banner enabled, VMRDR is reading that banner as actual input to be parsed instead of ignoring it and only reading the true data. When connecti...
