Error description
In the Storage Resource Agent is installed on /opt/IBM/TPC/agent/config/Agent.config the servername is: Servername=MYTPCSERVER.ibm.com In the /etc/hosts xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx mytpcserver mytpcserver.ibm.com The hostname was changed in the /etc/hosts from uppercase to lowercase after the Storage Resource Agent installation on the IBM Spectrum Control server. The installer doesn't find the hostname in uppercase on the server then it doesn't upgrade the SRA. The code will be enhanced to have case-insensitive comparison for the hostname.
Local fix
Edit the /opt/IBM/TPC/agent/config/Agent.config file and replace the Servername by the hostname read in the /etc/hosts.
