Problem summary

• ****************************************************************
  * USERS AFFECTED:                                              *
  * IBM Storage Insights users monitoring Pure storage with an   *
  * AIX data collector.                                          *
  ****************************************************************
  * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:                                         *
  * When you attempt to monitor Pure storage with an AIX data    *
  * collector, the initial Discovery step will "hang"            *
  * indefinitely.  Data collection for the Pure storage will not *
  * proceed further and the data collector will not "respond" to *
  * any other "actions" (e.g., Test Connection, Restart Data     *
  * Collection, etc.) for any of its monitored devices; all of   *
  * those "actions" will timeout.                                *
  ****************************************************************
  * RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
