IBM Platform Symphony 7.1 Interim Fix 366001 Readme File

Abstract

Misleading error message in SIM logs about blocked hosts.
 

Description

The SIM logged an error to indicate that the host is blocked due to terminating the SI before registering back to the SIM. This is misleading because no hosts are actually blocked. After applying this fix, no error messages will be logged for this scenario.

 

This interim fix applies only to the following platform:

       Linux2.6-glibc2.3-x86_64
