    Automating the management of certificates on devices

    The creation, renewal and deletion of server certificates on devices is a manual process that has to be done through the GUI. The management of this can be a lot when dealing with multiple machines and requires a reboot. In the future if, for comp...

    The logical volume is stuck mounting due to an interrupted operation (job abort, LPAR IPL, or other disruptive action taken on the host side for various reasons). In this case, ITAU would like to know WHICH volume was left mounted and requires operator intervention (either via host or MI) to unload it and prevent future job errors with CBR4196D-67 (Requested volume already in use). Regarding ITAU's request to be informed of which level is causing the CBR3750I G0032 message, since it is still mounted: This would be a new function request (nonexistent at current code levels). It is not a code defect.

    Why are we seeing CBR3750I G0032_Informational_C_ TS7700_XX_ copies queued for more than 24 hours? The logical volume is stuck mounting due to an interrupted operation (job abort, LPAR IPL, or other disruptive action taken on the host side for var...
