  USERS AFFECTED:
  Users of IBM MQ Appliance who use HA queue managers may be
  affected.

  MultiPlatform
  
  ****************************************************************
  PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:
  APAR IT28259 was taken to fix a problem when appliance queue
  manager stops and restarts if errors file system is full.
  However the code change under APAR IT28259 caused the wrong
  error message AMQ7298 to be displayed to the user instead of
  AMQ6531 if creating HA queue manager fails due to errors volume
  on remote appliance is full.
  

Problem conclusion

• The IBM MQ appliance code has been modified to display correct
  error message to the user if creating HA queue manager fails
  because the errors volume on remote appliance is full.
