  Impact:  Prevents managing of the system that you deleted the
  volume on.  It appears blocking without the workaround.
  

Local fix

• Simply creating a new Wave and using that user from now on will
  get you out of this error.  However, if you would like to keep
  the old user:
  
  1) Create a new administrator.
  2) Log off the of the old user.
  3) Log on to the new user.
  4) Change the old user from an Administrator to a Regular User
  5) Log back into the old user and you shouldn't get that error
  anymore (note, the storage tab will be missing).
  6) Log out of the old user.
  7) From the new user, make the old user an Administrator again.
  8) Feel free to suspend the new user if you don't plan on using
  it anymore.
  

Problem summary

• Deleting an inconsistent volume will prevent managing systems
  due to a coding error that leads to a NullPointerException
  after re-logging on to IBM Wave.  This coding error will be
  fixed in a future release of the product.
  

Problem conclusion

Temporary fix

• See Local Fix.
