Allow LUN resizing for volumes that are part of an instance snapshot.

A way to suppress DDM error from creating problem logs

Having more control over what generates an APAR library for DDM/DRDA connections would be a good idea. It would appear IBM started logging trivial things like communication errors as software problems. This is a huge issue for shops monitoring WRK...

Keep multi-line DCL-S lines together when sorting

The "sort" command does not take into account DCL-S code spanning mutliple lines even though we have to key the semi-colon as the line end marker. Unlike the previous D-specs in fixed form it "seems" like it should be easier to determine ALL the d...

Finally leverage "the mainframe lesson" and fully exploit NUMA in POWERsystems

Why run VIO servers in the same cores, DIMMs, buses, etc. as all your real workloads? Instead of a 2-socket / 2 NUMA domain system, sell us an asymmetric 4-socket / 4 NUMA domain system where 2 of the sockets / domains are much smaller and contain...

Include program calls as well as subroutines
