Problem conclusion

  • SRA will not store anymore all the physical partitions for a
    logical volume, instead SRA will group adjoining physical
    partitions into chunks, regardless of the order in which the
    phyiscal partitions are returned by lslv.
    
    The fix for this APAR is targeted for the following maintenance
    packages:
    
    | fix pack | 5.1.1-TIV-TPC-FP0006 - target 3Q 2014
    | refresh pack | 5.2-TIV-TPC-RP0002 - target June 2014
