Readme File for: IBM Spectrum Symphony

Product Release: 7.2.0.2

Update Name: Interim Fix 601216

Fix ID: sym-7.2.0.2-build601216

Publication Date:  July 5, 2022

 

This IBM Spectrum Symphony 7.2.0.2 interim fix allows a consumer with hybrid positive owned slots configured to be able to reclaim slots from another consumer that has zero hybrid owned slots configured. This fix also introduces a new parameter called EGO_EXCLUDE_UNUSABLE_FREE_SLOTS_FOR_RECLAIM in the ego.conf file to allow the IBM Spectrum Symphony scheduler to exclude any free slots, that cannot be used for reclaim, from the calculation of the resource reclaim when a hybrid scheduling policy is used.
