IT17735: CAPACITY AND POOL VALUES REPORTED BY IBM SPECTRUM CONTROL DO NOTAGREE WITH THOSE REPORTED BY EMC VMAX

IBM Spectrum Control V5.2.13 (March 2017)
IBM Spectrum Control V5.2.14 (May 2017)
IBM Spectrum Control V5.2.15 (August 2017)
IBM Spectrum Control V5.2.15.2 (November 2017)
IBM Spectrum Control V5.2.16 (March 2018)
IBM Spectrum Control V5.2.17 (May 2018)

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• There are currently three types of pools returned by the SMI-S
  for VMAX:
  Symm_DeviceStoragePool
  Symm_SRPStoragePool
  Symm_VirtualProvisioningPool
  This APAR externalizes work to only return the virtual
  provisioning pool in the probe output for VMAX.
  This will limit the type of pool returned to avoid displaying
  duplicated/spurious data that is not part of the pools.
  

Local fix

• Upgrade to fixing release.
