DETAILS OF INCIDENTS FIXED BY THE PATCH --------------------------------------- This patch fixes the following Symantec incidents: Patch ID: 6.0.300.100 * 3090243 (Tracking ID: 3090229) SYMPTOM: AMF driver panics the node when vxconfigd is unresponsive. DESCRIPTION: The libusnp_vxnotify.so library used for disk group notifications, goes into an infinite loop when vxconfigd daemon is unresponsive. This causes AMF to enter an inconsistent state as a result of which AMF driver panics the node. RESOLUTION: Symantec has modified the AMF driver and libusnp_vxnotify.so library, to address this issue. * 3097346 (Tracking ID: 3097342) SYMPTOM: AMF driver panics the node when AMF is being stopped. DESCRIPTION: When AMF driver is being stopped, it stops the IMFD daemon. The code to handle this sleeps while holding a lock. This causes AMF driver to panic the node. RESOLUTION: Symantec has modified the AMF driver to fix this issue.
