IT37696: SWITCH LINK NAME IS INCORRECT

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• After adding multiple switches to Storage Insights, panels that
  display the switches on each end of a link (switch 1 and switch
  2) incorrectly display the chassis name (looks like make and
  model) rather than the switch name for switch 2.  Clicking the
  switch 2 link will take you to switch 2 despite the incorrect
  label.
  
  - Click into Links for a switch and it shows columns for switch
  1 and switch 2.
  
    - Switch 1 shows the switch you are viewing properties for
  already.
    - Switch 2 shows the name of the chassis, but clicking through
  it takes you to the switch.  The icon is blue like a switch
  also.
  - Similar behavior with the Connected Switch in Trunks.
  - Similar behavior with links in Chassis and Fabric tabs.
