Error description
When using the Spectrum Protect for Virtual Environments - VMware File restore UI, a Linux LVM mount point may show as VOLUME1, VOLUME2, VOLUME3, etc rather than the true mount point name. In this specific case the Linux volume group name and/or logical volume name contains a dash "-". Example: Volume Group Logical Volume "LV-group" "LV-Volume" The full path to the logical volume: /dev/LV-group/LV-Volume While the mount points show as VOLUME1, VOLUME2, data is able to be restored, but only to an alternate location. Initial impact: medium Platforms affected: Linux Versions affected: 6.4, 7.1.x
Local fix
Restore the data to an alternate location.

Problem conclusion
The Tivoli Storage Manager wasn't able to detect LVM volume group names or logical volume names if the name contained a dash. The problem happened due to the fact that after being mounted the dash character in the name turned into double dash. After applying the fix the Tivoli Storage for Virtual Environment will correctly detect and display LVM names with dashes.
