Error description
When a device, such as a switch or storage system, is added to Spectrum Control, a task notification is created and displayed indicating whether it succeeded or failed. However, there is nothing to identify the device from the notification, making it difficult to track what happened. Successful Notification Example: "Adding 1 Brocade switches." If adding the device fails, the notification should include the device and the failure reason. Failure Notification Examples: "Cannot add 1 of 1 Brocade switches." "Cannot add 1 of 1 DS8000 storage systems."
