JAGad54887 (SR8606185685): cmquerycl command may
hang when probing disabled disks
• What is the problem? If a Serviceguard command which probes disks,
such as cmquerycl, encounters a disabled disk, the command may
hang.
• What is the workaround? If the overall disk configuration (number of
LUNs) is not large, wait for the command to complete, otherwise
terminate the command with
CTRL-C.
JAGad39695 (SR8606170431):User error can result in
“ghost” services:
• What is the problem? A package was shut down when references to
one of its services had already been removed, and the service failed
while the package was halting.
In this case, since the service no longer exists, it cannot be halted
manually. Any attempt to do so results in this error:
cmhaltserv : Service name oasmon is not running.
Because the service has failed, cmsrvassistd tries to re-start the
service (since it was never halted). But when cmsrvassistd goes to
register the re-started service, its status entry has been removed by
cmcld because of the package shutdown. When the user issues the
cmapplyconf, this service is permanently removed from cmcld
