APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• The column header is incorrect and missing in the exported
  performance data for volume groups on devices like IBM Flash
  System and SAN Volume Controller.
  
  Steps to reproduce the issue:
  
  1. Log in to tenant and go to "block storage systems".
  2. Select a system having volume group.
  3. Right click on that system and choose "Export performance
  data".
  4. Once task gets completed, download the performance data zip
  file.
  5. Unzip and open the file for "storage volume group".
  6. Check the column headers.
