Closed as program error.
Error description
When attempting to define the Guest OS/Guest Password for a VM, the option is greyed out. In order to enable this option you must first select the "Truncate SQL logs" and "Catalog file metadata" check boxes. As this setting is used for guest IP reconfiguration,the UI should allow it to be set without having to chose the "Truncate SQL logs" and "Catalog file metadata" options. This needs to be corrected based on the following conditions: 1. If neither "Truncate SQL logs" nor "Catalog file metadata" check boxes are checked, then "Guest OS Username", and "Guest OS Password", fields are enabled and the "Save" button should be enabled. 2. If either or both "Truncate SQL logs" or "Catalog file metadata" check boxes are checked, then "Guest OS Username" and "Guest OS Password" fields are enabled and the "Save" button is disabled until proper credentials are entered. IBM Spectrum Protect Plus Versions Affected: 10.1.7 Initial Impact: Low Additional Keywords: TS005204644 Guest OS Username Guest OS Password Catalog file metadata Truncate SQL logs | MDVREGR 10.1.7 |
Local fix
Check one of the "Truncate SQL logs" and "Catalog file metadata" options, set the username and password and save, then uncheck the "Truncate SQL logs" and "Catalog file metadata" option and save again.
