IT43534: DS8K CUSTOM NAMES (DEFINED ON THE STORAGE) ARE NOT DISPLAYED IN STORAGE INSIGHTS

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• If you have configured your DS8000 storage with custom names,
  those values are not displayed in Storage Insights after the
  1Q23 update.  Instead, it reverts to the default value, such as
  "2107.<serial#>".
  
  Once fixed, the customer name will return.  If you rename the
  DS8000 within Storage Insights, that value will take precedence
  and can be used as a workaround until a fix is available.
