IT47200: VOLUME GROUP RECOVERY POINT (RPO) METRICS IN STORAGE INSIGHTS ARE INCORRECTLY SUMMED

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• The Average Recovery Point and Worst Recovery Point metrics on
  the volume groups in Storage Insights sum up the values reported
  by each node in the system. For each of these two metrics,
  Storage Insights must take the highest value from each node and
  report this as the final value for the volume group rather than
  summing them together.
