Error description
Customer has a cell spanning two LPARs and defines a new cluster
with two new members, both on the same LPAR.
- logon to admin console
- Click Servers > Clusters
- Click New buttononsole
- new cluster name: xxxttt-cluster
- Click Next button
- new member name: xxx3ttt, on any available node; leave rest
untouched (choosing template 'server1')
- Click Apply button, and add another member: wxw5ttt, on the
same node in a similar manner; click Apply button
- Click Finish
- Change some default short names to proprietary ones:  for the
cluster (BBOC001 to WXWTTT) and member names (BBOS* to XXX3TTT
and  XXX5TTT)
- Save and sync to nodes
The serverindex.xml file shows genericShortName="XXXTTT"
for  both cluster members.

After a while in the admin console, a configuration problem
message appears:
CHKW2526E: Server entries having the same generic short name,
XXXTTT, are present within the server index.
Local fix
Ignore the CHKW2526E message in this scenario.

* PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: CHKW2526E message when cluster is       *
*                      defined with more than 1 member on the  *
*                      same LPAR but the cell spans two LPARS. *
****************************************************************
* RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
****************************************************************
The WebSphere validation logic checks for duplicate generic
short names and if it finds one, it generates the following
error:"CHKW2526E: Server entries having the same
generic short name, XXXTTT, are present within the server
index.". However, in the cluster case, the generic short names
should actually match and the error message should not appear.
Problem conclusion
The validation logic was modified to eliminate the error
message in the cluster case.

APAR PK11763 is associated with SERVICE LEVEL W502034 of
