Implement Hyperswap cluster health status on GUI

In the Hyperswap demo from TechZone linked below, there is an HTML based "Demonstration Web interface" which is used to pilot the demonstration from a single point:


https://techzone.ibm.com/collection/MOP-FLASH-HYPERSWAP-VMWARE_TECH


It also visualizes the current health status and additional Information of the cluster. Many customers like that and miss it on the Spectrum Virtualize/FlashSystem GUI.

It would be nice if that could be implemented on the GUI. For example in the “Monitoring – System Overview” tab after the creation of a Hyperswap cluster.

Of course without the “send into maintenance mode” function and so on of the demo, just to visualize the cluster health status.

That would help the customers, which are not that confident with the system, understand problems and what the system is doing.

Thanks in advance!

    Thank you for submitting this enhancement request. The team is working on major enhancements to HyperSwap (2-site HA) and monitoring the health is an important element.

    We appreciate your input and hope that you will continue to submit enhancement requests, as this feedback is a key component to shaping the future direction of IBM Storage Virtualize and FlashSystem family.


    Thanks,
    FlashSystem Team
