IT25616: IBM SPECTRUM CONTROL COGNOS REPORT FOR SOME STORAGE TYPES.

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• IBM Spectrum Control Cognos report "Storage Systems Capacity"
  don`t display "RAW disk capacity (GiB)" and "Storage System Disk
  Capacity (GiB)" for some storage types.
  
  In IBM Spectrum Control storage subsystem L2 panel  "Raw disk
  capacity" is shown for all subsystems types. Cognos report does
  not show this value for storage virtualizers and storwise on
  "Storage Systems Capacity" report.
  The corresponding column from the report for row capacity is
  "Storage System Total Disk Capacity (GiB)".
  Also "Storage System Disk Capacity (GiB)" from the report has
  the same behavior.
  
  AFFECTED RELEASE(s): 5.2.15.2, 5.3
