Readme File for: IBM Platform Symphony

Product Release: 7.1.1

Update Name: Interim Fix 468766

Fix ID: sym-7.1.1-build468766-ms

Publication Date: September 15, 2017

Under race conditions, when a host is removed from the IBM Platform Symphony 7.1.1 cluster, its reclaim information is not cleaned. Later, however, when the VEMKD tries to access the removed host’s information through the available reclaim information, the VEMKD crashes because the host information is already cleaned. This interim fix provides a resolution for this issue.
