Update Name: Interim Fix 547122

Fix ID: sym-7.2.0.2-build547122

Publication Date: May 1, 2020

 

When a consumer cannot get all its deserved slots because there are not enough hosts in the cluster that satisfy the requirement, these slots will instead be allocated to other consumers to avoid wasting resources. Under this condition, a continuous allocation and reclaim may occur on another consumer. This interim fix resolves the continuous allocation and reclaim issue in IBM Spectrum Symphony 7.2.0.2 cluster.
