IBM always push SDS approach. Giving customers the chance to use Storage Scale SW version as Active/ative storage ( stretch cluster) on fusion SDS will open us lots of opportunities

    Having seen the intergration or DR policies with ACM orchestration with ODF/FDF for App Relocation, Failback and Failover this is very powerful capability. Would love to see this on Scale on z.

    This request will not be delivered within the release currently under development, but the theme is aligned with the current multi-year strategy. IBM may consider and evaluate any RFE Community feedback for this request through activities such as voting. IBM will update this request in the future.

    That should be especially beneficial for IBM zSystems/LinuxONE users who want to deploy all SDS on the zLinux platform. They can build a Scale stretched cluster on zLinux today but would be glad to gain Fusion automation for the DR failover/failback application integration.A

    Also ESS (now IBM Storage Scale System) users will benefit when they combine their existing stretched cluster solutions with OCP.

    This is a very simple and natural option. I will love it.
