IT42918: VOLUME PROPERTIES - RELATIONSHIPS LISTS VOLUMES NOT RELATED TO THE SUBJECT VOLUME

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• Storage Insights has been observed to display a Metro Mirror
  relationship between volumes that have nothing to do with one
  another.
  
  Example: View the relationships tab for "vol_1". Observe that a
  relationship is shown between "vol_a" and "vol_b". While there
  is a Metro Mirror relationship between "vol_a" and "vol_b" they
  have nothing to do with "vol_1".
  
  The cause for this is an error in processing the data from the
  probe.
