In some cases the Topo Topology or Performance Scanner may fail due to a communication problem between HMC and VIOS or an error in VIOS. The error message in the Topology Scan Log is not that informative to quickly identify the originator and fix the error. The log provides the UUID of the Managed System, which must then be resolved to the name of the Managed System.
Since BVQ Release 2023.
...
H1. the output in log files has been extended by the readable names of Managed Systems, Logical Partitions and also the name of the queried HMC.
