IT28904: DRILL DOWN TO VOLUME PERFORMANCE IS NOT POSSIBLE FOR FS91XX STORAGE SYSTEMS

IBM Spectrum Control 5.3.3 (May 2019)
IBM Spectrum Control 5.3.4 (September 2019)

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• Drill down to Volume Performance is not possible for FS91xx
  Systems.
  Instead Virtualizer Performance is shown even for systems that
  are not virtualized.
  
  Volume Performance can be accessed directly, from the Volumes L2
  or Volumes L3 panel. 
  However when looking at performance of a different resource type
  (entire system, or pool, or whatever), the right-click action
  should list all the different resource type that can be
  drilled-down (or drill-up) to, including Volume Performance. 
  But this menu item is missing for FS9100.  It does show properly
  for other storage system types.
