APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• During startup of the Spectrum Protect Client the operating
  system of the system the node resides on will be reported to the
  Spectrum Protect Server.  If the operating system is Windows 10,
  the role will be incorrectly reported as SERVER when the correct
  value is CLIENT.
  
  Evidence of this can be found by performing the query "select
  node_name,role,client_os_name from nodes where
  client_os_name='WIN:Windows 10'".  If one has been affected than
  the CLIENT_OS_NAME will be WIN:Windows 10 and ROLE will be
  SERVER.
  
  This may cause issues with PVU Licensing.
