Add Iogrp Memory (FlashCopy, Replication, Mirror) as a Capacity item, tracked over time

The Iogrp memory is a limited resource on the flash system (I understand it will continue to be even once memory paging is added), that impacts the system's ability to do basic functions, like taking a snapshot. We should track this over time, so ...

More focus on stretched Scale for DR with Fusion HCI

I would like Fusion HCI to support data replication performed by Scale: Two separate OpenShift clusters (DR), one/site where stretched (containerized/external) Scale is used for data replication over Ethernet using failure groups.

Implement bucket policies for IBM COS in for Container mode

Integrate bucket policies (similar to AWS S3 bucket policies) into the IBM COS on-premises solution for container mode. Specifically, I am interested in the ability to define fine-grained access control rules at the bucket level.

Enable custom certificates for Storage Scale CNSA GUI on OpenShift

We have to secure all Web GUIs with custom certificates from our In House CA. In detail we need the ibm-spectrum-scale-gui route from the ibm-spectrum-scale namespace to be secured by a custom certificate.

Increase REST API max requests per second limit

The limit is currently 3 requests per second. For clients with more than a couple environments running concurrently (snapshots, replication changes) this results in significant delays or even failures when using the REST API's.

Fusion HCI VM HCP clusters with GDP remote mount

The reason for this feature is that many customers utilize Scale/ESS for their data storage and want to have the ability to directly access this data through remote mounts from containers running on VM HCP (Hosted Control Plane) clusters within Fu...

Custom Certificates for DSCLI

For many years our DS8000 environment has been getting internally flagged as being a security risk. This is because it's seeing the certificate presented on ports 1751/1756 as self signed by IBM. This idea would be to add the ability to replace th...

Strengthening TS7700 and TSSC Access Security with Multi‑Factor Authentication

With increased scrutiny on information security, it is essential to enforce stronger access controls for TS7700 and TSSC systems by implementing Multi‑Factor Authentication (MFA). Enabling MFA will significantly enhance security by ensuring robust...

TS7700 SETTING enhancement to control Copy Queue count and Size alerting

This capability would allow customers to tune settings to trigger alert based on workload requirements like vounts and size and receive alerts as soon as replication issues occur. The current 24‑hour delayed‑copy alerting message code G0032 does n...

High‑Availability Enhancement for TS7700 Microcode Maintenance

Eliminating planned downtime would deliver a best‑in‑class user experience for TS7700 customers, comparable to the DS8000 series. Currently, downtime is required because the TS7700 architecture relies on a single controller, which must be taken of...
