Mainframe Storage Administrator with experience in managing enterprise z/OS storage environments, specializing in DASD management, SMS/DFSMS administration, backup & recovery, and disaster recovery operations. Hands-on experience in ACS routine management, storage provisioning, catalog administration, replication support, and DFSMShsm operations across Production and DR environments. Skilled in resolving storage-related incidents, space abends, backup failures, and supporting infrastructure changes including workload separation and storage capacity expansion.
Experienced with FDR, FDRABR, ADRDSSU, BCM replication, CA-1 tape management, and daily z/OS storage operations.
Experience
Analyst I at DXC Technology (2025-10 – Present)
- Managed enterprise workload separation, enabling cross-LPAR dataset sharing and executing complete Sandbox isolation.
- Developed and maintained ACS routines across all SMS constructs (Data Class, Storage Class, Management Class, Storage Group).
- Executed high-risk ICF Catalog resizing and reorganization utilizing IDCAMS EXPORT/IMPORT during critical windows to prevent structural limits and ensure catalog integrity.
- Performed storage capacity expansion by adding DASD volumes and updating replication (BCM) across Production and DR environments.
- Implemented StopX37 to intercept space abends (SB37/SD37), improving batch job stability and reducing manual intervention.
- Executed disaster recovery activities including replication-based DR and traditional DR.
- Managed DASD volume lifecycle, including allocation, expansion, and space monitoring across multiple LPAR environments.
Analyst 2 at DXC Technology (2023-03 – 2025-09)
- Performed DASD volume initialization and managed volume status changes, including onboarding volumes for DFSMShsm ML1 storage.
- Performed reorganization and resizing of DFSMShsm Control Data Sets (MCDS, BCDS, OCDS).
- Modified Primary Space Management (PSM) execution timings to optimize space management cycles.
- Executed dataset and volume-level recovery using DFSMSdss (ADRDSSU) and FDRABR.
- Resolved backup failures by coordinating with IBM/BMC vendors and modifying FDR archival rules.
- Managed CA-1 tape operations including scratch processing, expiry management, and lifecycle control.
- Conducted daily BAU health checks for storage groups, ICF catalogs, and tape scratch counts.
