IJ11580: VDISK MASTER IS TEARED DOWN WHEN VSENDACTIVATE FAILS

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• If the worker node fails during vdisk create, it may fail
  to activate vdisk on the worker. At this time, the vdisk
  create procedure fails and backouts all the resources.
  This is an unnecessary behavior, given the vdisk has already
  been committed. When the worker fails over, the vdisk will
  be recovered on the new worker.
  

Local fix
