APAR status
Closed as program error.
Error description
The host connection status, from internal resources, is propagated up to the overall storage device condition, which is fine when there is no error. Currently, if the host connection status is in an error condition it results in the storage device labeled as an error condition. For example, a host connection in an offline status rolls up as an error condition, resulting in the storage device being shown as error condition. However, an offline status of the host connection may be intentional or the expected state, and for that customer they do not expect the storage device to be shown as error condition. This APAR will investigate the status condition mentioned above and how best to address the expected state of the host connections and how status is propagated to the device level.
