Enhancements for DS8000 REST API

We are using REST API to get configuration data out from the DS8000 storage system.
We would like to have more API request types to get also security informations from DS8000.
We need to know the active authentication policy with properties, information about the active SSL web certificate, NTP configuration, etc.

In addition please enhance the REST API volumes request (/v1/lss/lss_id/volumes).
For CKD volumes you will get capacity informations in cylinders only. We would like to have the capacity in GiB in the respond to that request also.

    Hello Randy,

    volume data returned is fine.

    In only need to have the whole CKD volumes on a DS8K without filtering on lss or poo_id on the request.

    Thanks

    We are looking at the request, but for the part of the request asking us to return the volume sizes for CKD volumes in GiB. The interface should already be returning capacity in GiB for each volume under the cap_gib property. Here's an example of the volume data returned. If this does not work please let us know. 

    "data": {
    		"volumes": [
    			{
    				"id": "0000",
    				"link": {
    					"rel": "self",
    					"href": "https:/tiberseptim.tuc.stglabs.ibm.com:8452/api/v1/volumes/0000"
    				},
    				"name": "",
    				"state": "normal",
    				"cap": "110187",
    				"cap_gb": "87.2",
    				"cap_gib": "93.7",
    				"real_cap": "110187",
    				"virtual_cap": "110187",
    				"stgtype": "ckd",
    				"VOLSER": "0X5000",
