    Ability to open a case for Storage Insights via Storage Insights

    Request to allow a user to open a support case for Storage Insights using Storage Insights. Storage Insights is able to open support cases for the IBM block storage systems but it does not have an option to open a support case for itself. As a res...

    Allow Storage Insights to recieve and pass on notifications from other tools such as CSM
