IT34563: IN IBM STORAGE INSIGHTS THE BACKEND SUBSYSTEMS ARE NOT DISPLAYEDCORRECTLY

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• For a SVC storage, when there are multiple backend controllers
  that are not belonging to subsystems monitored in IBM Storage
  Insights, then only one backend subsystem is displayed in the
  subsystem L3 panel.
  They are all persisted in the database but are not displayed.
  The fix of this APAR will adjust this situation so that every
  backend controller found during probe (for subsystems that are
  not already monitored) are displayed.
  It remains the condition that the backend subsystem should have
  volumes mapped to the SVC Mdisks.
