IT42412: STORAGE INSIGHTS MAY DISPLAY AN INCORRECT NUMBER OF VOLUMES IN POOLS WHEN THE PROBE JOB IS FAILING.

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• The number of Volumes in pools are collected during the probe
  and miniprobe processes.
  If these processes are failing due to high number of volume
  files,  the Volumes are not entirely processed.
  Then, Storage Insights is showing an invalid number of Volumes
  in Pools view (Resources -> Pools)
  
  NOTE: the Volumes panel for a Storage (Internal Resources ->
  Volumes) is showing the right amount of Volumes.
