    lin_tape driver for Ubuntu is outdated, any plans to update in the near future?

    lin_tape driver is needed for all IBM LTO tape drives and libraries. We have applications running on Ubuntu and need a current version of the driver. With the current version we are stuck to Ubuntu 20.04 and can't move forward.

    Enhance AFM to transfer NFSv4 ACLs from NFS servers like Isilons and store the ACLs correct as GPFS ACLs

    Storage Scale and Storage Scale System are great products. But in many cases, another storage is already used and there are no easy ways to migrate PBytes of data - except perhaps with AFM? Almost all installations use e.g. AD integrations and NFS...

    Prevent from PMT / CPYT Throttling when PMTHLVL is exceeded but TS7700 is not at 100% Disk usage

    Provide a possibility to Prioritize Work Load from customer side

    TS7700 must provide a possibility to prioritize workload (Pre-Migration, Host I/O, Copy processes) on customer's demand. TS7700 can have several limitations defined, which may lead to situation where front end (host I/O) work load is lower priorit...
