IT23334: PERFORMANCE OF COMPUTER ROLLUP QUERY IS TOO SLOW

IBM Spectrum Control 5.3.1 - Agents

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• Rollup reports are taking several hours when the Spectrum
  Control environment is really large
  
  An example of large environment:  Spectrum Control instance 1
  having approx 85 storage systems, 45 FC switches, 5000+
  hypervisors and 1900 agentless servers.  The 2nd Spectrum
  Control instance is smaller with about 70 storage systems, 30
  switches, no hypervisors and 1800 agentless servers
  
  This sized environment may find in the probe logs of the rollup
  server job that the collection of "Computer systems" takes about
  several hours
