IBM Platform Symphony 6.1 Interim Fix #231223 Readme File
Abstract
The master LIM sends an announcement to an unavailable host, which
takes three to four seconds. This causes a performance downgrade.
Description
The customer
is concerned that it takes three to four seconds when the master LIM sends an
announcement to an unavailable host. With this fix, if a timeout occurs, the
master will not send the SLIM configuration to an unavailable host. The
announcement packet will be small enough that it will not cause system call
hanging.
This fix patch applies only to the following platform:
Windows 64-bit
