The following error is seen when trying to deploy Storage Resource Agent (SRA) from IBM Spectrum Control GUI using SSH key BPCUI0009E The SSH key could not be loaded for the following reason: Key file tpc_key.txt does not exist or is not a valid file. The SRA install wizard does not send the entire key path to the IBM Spectrum Control backend. Affected platform: All.
Local fix
