IT34653: AMBIGUOUS WORDING IN GUEST RESTORE WIZARD "SET NETWORK" AND "REVIEW" PANELS

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• In the IBM Spectrum Protect Plus VMware guest restore wizard
  panels "Set network" (only when "Original Host or Cluster" is
  selected) and "Review" (in all cases), the field
  "IP Configuration" under section "Select destination",
  depending the selections made, can display the value
  "Allow system to define IP configuration".
  That value is ambiguous as it is not clear what exact entity is
  meant by "system".
  In this context, "system" designates the IBM Spectrum Protect
  Plus appliance itself.
  
  IBM Spectrum Protect Plus Versions Affected:
  IBM Spectrum Protect Plus 10.1.x
  
  Initial Impact: Low
  
  Additional Keywords: SPP, SPPLUS, TS004312320

Problem conclusion

• IBM Spectrum Protect Plus VMware restore wizard review page has
  been updated to show "Allow SPP to define IP configuration" or
  "Use original IP configuration" for the "Select destination ->
  IP Configuration:" field. This will clarify the previously
  ambiguous use of the term "system".
