IT36397: GUEST OS/PASSWORD SETTING SHOULD BE INDEPENDENT FROM "TRUNCATE SQL LOGS" AND "CATALOG FILE METADATA" OPTIONS.

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• When attempting to define the Guest OS/Guest Password for a VM,
  the option is greyed out.
  In order to enable this option you must first select the
  "Truncate SQL logs" and "Catalog file metadata"
  check boxes. As this setting is used for guest IP
  reconfiguration,the UI should allow it to be set without having
  to chose the "Truncate SQL logs" and "Catalog file metadata"
  options. This needs to be corrected based on the following
  conditions:
  
   1. If neither "Truncate SQL logs" nor "Catalog
  file metadata" check boxes are checked, then
  "Guest OS Username", and "Guest OS Password",
  fields are enabled and the "Save" button should be enabled.
   2. If either or both "Truncate SQL logs" or "Catalog file
  metadata"
  check boxes are checked, then "Guest OS Username" and
  "Guest OS Password" fields are enabled and the "Save" button
  is disabled until proper credentials are entered.

Local fix

• Check one of the "Truncate SQL logs" and "Catalog file
  metadata" options, set the username
  and password and save, then
  uncheck the "Truncate SQL logs" and "Catalog file metadata"
  
  option and save again.
