IT31029: IP ADDRESS FOR SVC AND STORWIZE SUBSYSTEM IS NOT DISPLAYED.

IBM Spectrum Control 5.3.6 (February 2020)

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• In IBM Spectrum Control 5.3.5 the IP address for SVC and
  Storwize subsystem is not displayed.
  The IP address is persisted correct by the probe and may be
  visible in the GUI short after a probe has run. The IP
  information is removed by the first miniprobe that runs. There
  is no workaround for this, it needs a code fix.
