Readme File for: IBM Platform Symphony

Product Release: 7.1.1

Update Name: Interim Fix 462466

Fix ID: sym-7.1.1-build462466

Publication Date: July 31, 2017


After a client is reclaimed slots on one host, and does not receive a reclaim notification from VEMKD, if the host becomes unavailable and is then removed from cluster, this causes the slot count for the allocation to be inconsistent. Under this condition, if the client reconnects again, and VEMKD crashes. This interim fix addresses this scenario so that VEMKD works appropriately.
