IBM Platform Symphony 6.1.1 Interim Fix 248004 Readme File

Abstract

The slave lim fails to get the correct cluster configuration from master lim after two consecutive failover of the master host.

Description

Due to a race condition, when the master candidate becomes the master again in the second consecutive failover, the slave lim cannot get the correct cluster configuration from the master lim and thereby takes the default configuration to run in the advanced workload execution mode after the restart. That is unexpected as the cluster is installed to be running in the simplified workload execution mode.

This fix patch applies only to the following platform:

Linux 64-bit
