On June 10th, Mainstar announced General Availability for the new Storage Plug-In module for MXI G2 for z/OS. This release provides users of MXI G2 with new storage reporting for their z/OS DASD farm. The Storage Plug-In provides technical staff with access to information about datasets, DASD volumes, pools, SMS classes and other information critical for your staff’s understanding of the exact health and status of the storage system.
