IBM Platform Symphony 7.1.1 Interim Fix #414752 Readme File

Abstract

The behavior provided with RFE58978 for Platform Symphony 7.1.1 does not behave as expected. The SOAM_TASK_RETRY_LIMIT_FOR_HOST_UNAVAILABLE counter does not increase on compute hosts.

Description

After enabling RFE58978 for Platform Symphony 7.1.1, you should be able to increase the SOAM_TASK_RETRY_LIMIT_FOR_HOST_UNAVAILABLE counter on compute hosts so that when the counter reaches the value specified, tasks fail. However, currently, when compute hosts crash, the SOAM_TASK_RETRY_LIMIT_FOR_HOST_UNAVAILABLE counter does not increase.

This fix applies only to Linux 64-bit host.
