Abstract

This fix includes various issues with installing RFE56075 on Platform Symphony 7.1

Description

This interim fix addresses the following cases:

· P101253: Slots in closed hosts are not released to EGO after SSM restarts, although RFE56075 is enabled.

· P101234: Slots in closed hosts are not released to EGO if taskLowWaterMark is set to 0, although RFE56075 is enabled.

· P101331: Slots in closed hosts are not released to EGO after workload drains, although RFE56075 is enabled.
