Readme file for: IBM Spectrum Symphony
Product/Component release: 7.3
Fix ID: sym-7.3-build601223

Publication date: July 27, 2022

 

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 for another consumer. This interim fix resolves the continuous allocation and reclaim issue in an IBM Spectrum Symphony 7.3 cluster.
