APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• Product Insights creates a unique group ID for the cell by
  adding the node name and the hostname of the dmgr to the ID so
  that two cells with the same name appear as separate groups in
  the UI.
  
  There is a bug in generating the ID. Instead of the hostname
  of the dmgr the hostname of the node is used. If you have a
  cell with 2 nodes on different machines you get two cell
  groups instead of one because each node is using it's own
  hostname.

Problem conclusion

• The Product Insights group identifier has been corrected so
  that all servers in the same cell will be in a single group.
