IBM Spectrum Symphony 7.1.2 Interim Fix #433903 Readme File

Abstract

In some cases with exclusive slot allocation configured, a released resource hangs in the RELEASING state.

Description

When two sessions are running workload on the same compute host with exclusive slot allocation configured, if one session is killed/aborted during the onSessionEnter or onSessionUpdate phase the SSM releases that host resource. The released resource hangs in the RELEASING state until the other session’s workload is finished.

This fix applies only to the following platform:
