IT39915: SITE OPTION 'VMWARE VM ALLOCATION' SLIDER LOCATION ON THE SLIDER BAR IS NOT DYNAMICALLY UPDATED

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• In the IBM Spectrum Protect Plus User Interface, the site
  options are found in
  'System Configuration' > 'Storage' > 'Sites'.
  The slider location on its slider bar for site option
  'VMware VM allocation' is not dynamically updated when
  selecting one of the predefined values
  'By VM count', 'Balanced' or 'By free space' :
  
  For example :
  
     o By VM count
     * Balanced        <--- selected
     o By free space
     o Custom
                                              Slider
                                               here
                                                |
                                                V
   |--+--+--+--+--|--+--+--+--+--|--+--+--+--+--*--+--+--+--+--|
  By VM       Primarily      Balanced       Primarily     By free
  count         by VM                        by free       space
                count                         space
  
  This is just a display problem as the predefined selection is
  taken into account as expected, but the slider location does
  not reflect that selection.

Problem conclusion

• IBM Spectrum Protect Plus VM Allocation options for sites have
  been enhanced.  To avoid confusion between "By VM count",
  "Balanced", "By free space" and "Custom" radio selection, the
  slider will only be visible on screen when "Custom" is selected.
