DCR 11556 Problem resolution by 3Q2014

Subject: FITS Request on V7000 (Extra scsi sense for prepared Flash Copy target volumes)

I received a new function request so asked him to open a FITS.
However, something is wrong with FITS page and can not proceed further from Resolving Release and Resolving Entity.

FITS
https://w3-03.ibm.com/tools/fits/requirements/mo/fmoreq.nsf/WebPages/FITS-Req1-Framer

I decided to send the request by email. Please let me know if there is another tool to open a new request.
If we still need to use FITS tool, please see the content below till the page is fixed.
I believe there is a fix plan but I would like to know the current planned release date. Thank you,


Here is a content given from the requestor, Hayashi-san.
