Error description
In IBM Spectrum Control 5.2.14, Volume Copy 1 is displayed with wrong status 'Synchronizing' in web GUI, even if in reality it isn't synchronizing. The root cause of this defect is caused by some values persisted in T_STORAGE_VOLUME at probe post processing and by the way how these values are used for displaying the status in GUI.
