IT28342: PROMOTING AN SDS TO A PRIMARY SERVER REPORTS A PANIC ON THE PRIMARY INSTEAD OF A PROPER SHUTDOWN

APAR status

• Closed as fixed if next.

Error description

• Defect idsdb00499002(APAR IT00291) in 12.10.FC2 has been
  observed in 11.70.FC8 so the fix needs to be ported back to
  11.70.FC9.
  
  You can promote an SDS server to a primary server by using
  'onmode -d set SDS primary <alias>'
  This will shutdown the current primary, which can be restarted
  being the new SDS afterwards.
  
  During the shutdown of the primary you might observe the
  following messages in the primary's online log:
  13:49:31  DR:Shutting down the server.
  13:49:31  The Master Daemon Died
  13:49:31  PANIC: Attempting to bring system down
  
  ...where the last two lines are unexpected.
