Error description
Switches and Fabrics are detected via CIMOM and/or SRA data sources (when SRAs have the Fabric function enabled). SRAs are capable of detecting all fabric-connected devices regardless of whether or not TPC supports the device. When a user removes a data source that is managing a certain switch from TPC, all associated entities for that data source should be set to missing regardless of whether or not the device is supported. Unsupported devices appear in the topology viewer identified by WWN but may not have much other detail available. These unsupported devices become orphaned when their managing data source is removed from TPC, and as such their detectability status never gets updated so they are not removable through the TPC GUI. With this APAR it will be assured that we check if the removed data source is the last one that is seeing a switch. If that's the case all related entities will be set to missing. RECREATE STEPS: Rare scenario. ________________________________________________________________ DB2 Version used for Server: N/A The defect is against component: 5608TPCS0 Server/Manager build/release (TPC): 4.2.2 Agent build/release (TPC): N/A Server/Manager (OS): N/A Agent (OS): N/A ________________________________________________________________ Problem as described by customer: Unable to remove switch from TPC Initial customer impact (low/med/high): Med.
