IT38559: STORAGE INSIGHTS UNABLE TO MONITOR MULTIPLE STORAGE SYSTEMS ADDED VIA SINGLE SMI-S CIMOM / SERVICE PROVIDER

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• Storage Insights should be able to monitor multiple storage
  systems which are managed by a single CIMOM (SMI-S provider)
  service. Currently in Storage Insights when a CIMOM managing two
  storage devices is added, it adds only one of the storage system
  and ignores the second storage system.
  
  This applies when monitoring EMC, Hitachi and other non-IBM
  storage devices.
