Verify a configuration by means of I/O Autoconfiguration (zDAC)

With HCD you can now verify the active or target configuration by means of z/OS discovery and I/O Autoconfiguration (zDAC), if Tivoli System Automation (TSA) I/O operations is not installed or not working. This is possible for a processor supporting I/O Autoconfiguration and for a system in the local sysplex, which is capable for dynamic activates. The verification is limited to FICON attached storage devices.

When generating the I/O path report, HCD includes information about single point of failures (SPOFs) into the sensed data if the report is produced for the local system. This is done when getting the report via (TSA) I/O operations as well as via zDAC.
