IT39159: CUSTOM STORAGE SYSTEM NAMES SET WITHIN THE STORAGE INSIGHTS GUI ARE NOT KEPT PERMANENTLY.

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• Storage Insights allows a user to rename a device after It has
  been added to Storage Insights.
  
  These customer-provided names have been observed to change back
  to the original names which come from the device itself, when
  the device is discovered and added to Storage Insights.
  
  This name change is due to Storage Insights seeing the name
  coming from the device with the probe results and incorrectly
  changing the Storage Insights displayed name back to the
  device-provided name.  This is defective behavior; Storage
  Insights is supposed to persist any user-provided renames.

  Server/Manager build/release:  5.4.x
