  * The Spectrum Control probe finishes as failed but the log    *
  * contains no other errors or warnings except the final error  *
  * message:                                                     *

  * This can occur after a switch is deleted from the CIMOM      *
  * and reprobed from Spectrum Control. The switch becomes       *
  * Undetectable, but the probe ends with error and does not     *
  * get to the point of setting the switch to Undetectable.      *
