Error description

  • When volumes that were previously assigned to SVC and reported
    were unmapped,
    TPC Disk Manager > Reporting > Volumes by Storage Subsystems
    does not report them
    The reason for which the volumes are not re-displayed in TPC is
    because that the unmapped volumes still retain their
    assigned mdisk_id in the database. This doesn't get deleted when
    volumes are unassigned
    
    .
    Re-create steps:
    unassigned disks from SVC
    rerun report from TPC Disk Manager > Reporting > Volumes by
    Storage Subsystems

Problem conclusion

  • A code change has been made to correctly process whether the
    volume to mdisk relationship still exists.  The database will
    then be updated to reflect this.  The fix for this APAR is
    targeted for the following maintenance packages:
    
    | fix pack | 4.1.1-TIV-TPC-FP0005 - target October 2010
    | fix pack | 4.2.x-TIV-TPC - target October 2010
    
    http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?&uid=swg21320822
    
    The target dates for future fix packs do not represent a formal
    commitment by IBM. The dates are subject to change without
    notice.
