Error description
There is a memory leak in the rmcd process, in a code path related to analyzing RTAS (Run Time Abstraction Services) data on Power systems. The initial discovery was just after a a customer had moved to Power 8 hardware, so the HW level may be a differentiator (although in what way is not known yet). As part of the criticial clustering infrastructure, a crash of RMC can cause a node failure in SAMP, PowerHA, or VIOS SSP clustering.
Local fix
Problem summary
