SUMMARY OF KNOWN ISSUES: ----------------------------------------- KNOWN ISSUES : -------------- FIXED INCIDENTS: ---------------- PATCH ID:6.0.001.000 * INCIDENT NO:2653668 TRACKING ID:2653701 SYMPTOM: The high availability daemon (HAD) process unexpectedly terminates. DESCRIPTION: Due to a deadlock issue, the HAD process fails to heartbeat with the Group Membership Services and Atomic Broadcast (GAB) component. As a result, after the heartbeat timeout elapses, GAB terminates the HAD process by sending a SIGABRT signal. RESOLUTION: Symantec has modified the HAD process to prevent the deadlock issue. * INCIDENT NO:2684822 TRACKING ID:2684818 SYMPTOM: Veritas Cluster Server (VCS) may fail to implement the configured values of attributes such as PreOnline, ContainerInfo, TriggersEnabled, and AutoStartList. DESCRIPTION: In the main.cf file, if you specify the value of an attribute before you specify the value of the SystemList attribute, then this behavior occurs. When VCS starts, the hacf utility reads the main.cf file, and generates a list of modify commands to load the configured values of various attributes. The sequence of the modify commands is the same as the sequence in which you specify the attributes in the main.cf file. For example, if you specify the PreOnline attribute before the SystemList attribute, the modify command for PreOnline precedes the modify command for SystemList. The modify command for PreOnline fails, and VCS therefore fails to implement the value of PreOnline. VCS logs an error in the hacf-err_A.log log. RESOLUTION: Symantec has modified the hacf utility to execute the modify command for the SystemList attribute before the modify commands for the other attributes in the main.cf file.
