IT35374: IBM STORAGE INSIGHTS SHOWS WRONG OUTPUT IN CSV FORMAT

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• The export disk performance table to csv/pdf/html file may
  generate incorrect output when it is running on all disks from
  multiple storage subsystems.
  Several disks are in the file
  several times, others are not in there at all.
  The workaround
  may be applied is to filter the performance data table by
  storage subsystem then export disk performances in chunks by
  running several times on every single storage subsystem, only
  one storage subsystem at a time.
