APAR Error Description / Circumvention

-----------------------------------------------
IBM System Storage DS8000 systems that are not running firmware
release R4 or later may produce a hardware failure notification
if Collection Services is collecting the new external storage
metrics (*EXTSTG category data) that has been added in the 7.1
release. Hardware failure notification will cause the following
PAL entries to be repeatedly generated:

Reference Code
2107FFF4
B6005120
B6000266
A6010266
B6005120
A6020266

CORRECTION FOR APAR SE41285 :
-----------------------------
This PTF removes the *EXTSTG category from the shipped
Collection Services collection profiles.

To put the *EXTSTG data category back into the shipped
Collection Services collection profiles, take the following
steps. (Note: following these steps will restore the default
Collection Services configuration. To customize the
configuration, execute the CFGPFRCOL command with the desired
configuration settings before restarting Collection Services.)
1. End Collection Services: ENDPFRCOL FRCCOLEND(*YES)
2. Rename the QYPSCOLDTA user space: RNMOBJ
OBJ(QUSRSYS/QPFRCOLDTA) OBJTYPE(*USRSPC) NEWOBJ(QPFRCOLDT2)
3. Recreate a new QYPSCOLDTA user space: CALL QSYS/QYPSCOLDTA
PARM('*EXTSTG')
4. Restart Collection Services: STRPFRCOL
