Closed as program error.
Error description
When operating on a system where the IPv6 loopback address ::1 is a valid address for localhost, the clstrmgrES daemon may be unable to connect to the SNMP daemon. The following will repeat in clstrmgr.debug: ConnectToSnmp(): called, smuxFd is -1, retry count 0 ConnectToSnmp: smux_init returned 17 smuxFd is set in wrFds, try smux_simple_open smux_simple_open ok, try smux_register() In snmpdv3.log, the IPv6 loopback will be seen: Accepted new SMUX inet connection from ::1 but snmpd will not be able to provide cluster status.
Local fix
Add this line of text to /etc/snmpdv3.conf: smux 1.3.6.1.4.1.2.3.1.2.1.5 clsmuxpd_password ::1 128
Problem summary
Customer is forced to re-start the PowerHA cluster which in turn will stop all the running services.
Problem conclusion
Code changes will allow peer to connect using IPv6 loopback address (::1) if no address or netmask is specified for an entry in the snmpd.conf or snmpdv3.conf file.
Temporary fix
