IT39575: VOLSER COLUMN NOT INCLUDED IN EXPORT PERFORMANCE DATA OUTPUT

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• VOLSER column not included in Export Performance Data output
  for a storage system with CKD volumes that contains this data
  in Storage Insights.
  
  - If you go to the Volumes panel for a storage device in
  Storage Insights, which shows the Name and VOLSER columns, and
  do an export there. It will include the VOLSER column.
  - If you
  choose Export Performance Data for that same storage device and
  then look at the volumes spreadsheet, it doesn't include the
  VOLSER column. Name wasn't there either, but there was a column
  named Volume.
  

Local fix

• As a workaround, go to the Volumes panel in Storage Insights,
  which shows the Name and VOLSER columns, and do an
  Export there. It will include the VOLSER column.
