Error description
IBM Spectrum Control displays more Fibre-Channel ports than what physically exist on a monitored San Volue Controller DETAIL OF PROBLEM: Spectrum Control displays ports that do not exist for monitored SVC/Storwize V7000 devices. For example a monitored device known to have twelve fibre channel ports configured, shows twenty four in the Spectrum Control GUI and in Cognos reports. This port data is collected and stored correctly for the devices; the queries used to display port information contained incorrect filtering criteria. RECREATE STEPS: Run probes against SVC/Storwize V7000 devices from Spectrum Control and observe more ports displayed than what exist. ________________________________________________________________ DB2 Version used for Server: N/A The defect is against component: 5608TPC00 Server/Manager build/release (TPC): 5.2.9 ________________________________________________________________ Problem as described by customer: wrong number of SVC ports displayed Initial customer impact (low/med/high): med
