Allow Multi-Target PPRC via CSM for HDS Controllers

We use Hitachi storage controllers with CSM as data mirroring software. In the case of a 3-sided controller migration, it is necessary to activate multitarget pprc. However, CSM currently does not allow this for storage controllers from other manufacturers.

    Dear IBM,

    on which basis you have decided to decline this request? From customer perspective this is a very bad desiccion, because a Migration Process from one controler genereation to antoher is very complicated without having MTMM support for HDS storage systems... please implement / allow this configuration at CSM for HDS G5xxx controllers. Thanks!

    This was brought up to IBM by Hitachi earlier this year. Unfortunately, Product Management has decided not support 3 site configurations for HDS storage systems at this time.
