    Continue CIM support

    Applications like ServiceNow rely on CIM to retrieve data during discovery. Without CIM support (since version 8.6.1 and newer), new integrations (e.g. REST based) are required but not available. IBM already has/had the knowledge to provide a good...

    Automatic Safegurded volumes to s3 or COS

    With safeguarded copy, we have a fantastic solution to provide an immutable copy of a volume. Rapid recovery is effective if the volume resides on the storage array, however, with ransoware taking 200+ days to detect, it is less likely this volume...

    rmsyslogserver should be sent to remote syslog server

    Setting up a remote syslog server to catch notifications from StorV is an important component in any security framework. Likewise it is important to monitor if syslog notifications get unconfigured. As of today, removing the last/only syslog serve...

    Throttle/QoS for Volume Groups

    Hello, I would like to suggest an enhancement that could combine throttle and volume groups. Since we are moving to volume groups related to all aspects and is possible to define the RPO objective (of PBR) directly in the replication policy, one p...

    Ability to modify or add a fcport of a host that is in a partition.

    Assuming PBHA and\or PBR: It may happen that a FC HBA of a host is replaced or that a HBA is redeployed. Or a host has already been created with 1 FC port. In these situations it is not possible to adjust this.

    Ability to clear HBA port counters from port statistics without reboot

    Part of ongoing monitoring, and also as troubleshooting aid after a repair is completed, it would be great to have ability to clear FC HBA port statistics. Note: Counters referred to are the CRC errors, loss of sync, etc which can only be cleared ...
    about 2 years ago in IBM Storage Virtualize / FlashSystem 1 Not under consideration

    Adding a new volume to a parent volume group containing a snapshot that a thin-clone volume group was created from should automatically add the volume to the thin-clone VG when that VG is refreshed from a new snapshot taken from the parent VG.

    Since the thin-clone VG is tied to the snapshot of the parent, if you add LUNs to the parent and create a new snapshot and then refresh the thin-clone from the new snapshot, it seems logical that you would want the thin-clone VG to also have the n...
