Error description

  • **************************************************************
    * USERS AFFECTED:
    * Systems running the AIX 7200-01 Technology Level
    * with bos.cluster.rte at or below the 7.2.1.3 level.
      **************************************************************
    * ERROR DESCRIPTION:
    * PowerHA Verify & Sync, clcmd, or other processes that
    * utilize clcomd may hang.
    * Large numbers of zombie processes for clcmd, clmgr, or
    * similar commands may be seen if this is occurring.
    *
    * Restarting clcomd with stopsrc/startsrc will clean up zombie
    * processes and allow clcomd to process new events again;
    * however the issue could re-occur again later, until the fix
    * is applied.
      **************************************************************
    * RECOMMENDATION:
    * Install APAR IJ04267.
    * Prior to fix availability, an interim fix is available from
    * either
    * ftp://aix.software.ibm.com/aix/ifixes/ij04267/
    * https://aix.software.ibm.com/aix/ifixes/ij04267/
    * The ifix can be installed using Live Update (LU).
    * If LU is not used, installation of the ifix requires a
    * reboot.
      **************************************************************
    

Local fix

  • Stopping and restarting clcomd (stopsrc -s clcomd;
    startsrc
    -s clcomd) will allow clcomd to process new events, and
    clean up existing zombie processes.  However, it will not
    prevent further hangs.
    

Problem summary

  • Operations involving clcomd, such as PowerHA Verify & Sync and
    clcmd commands may hang.
    

Problem conclusion

  • Remove unnecessary connection conflict logic that led to an
    infinite loop of clcomd refreshes.
    

Temporary fix
