IT46342: SPARE NODES ARE INCORRECTLY IDENTIFIED AS NOT SUPPORTING COMPRESSION BECAUSE OF NO I/O GROUP

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• Spare nodes within a cluster are incorrectly identified as not
  supporting compression. The compression setting is determined
  via the IO group, but spare nodes are not part of an IO group.
  Showing the compression value of unsupported for spare nodes
  causes confusion.
