Error description
For a SVC storage, when there are multiple backend controllers that are not belonging to subsystems monitored in IBM Storage Insights, then only one backend subsystem is displayed in the subsystem L3 panel. They are all persisted in the database but are not displayed. The fix of this APAR will adjust this situation so that every backend controller found during probe (for subsystems that are not already monitored) are displayed. It remains the condition that the backend subsystem should have volumes mapped to the SVC Mdisks.
