APAR Error Description / Circumvention

-----------------------------------------------
QYASRTVDDD option 2 allows other nodes to change data

CORRECTION FOR APAR SE59582 :
-----------------------------
QYASRTVDDD API has been corrected to fix the problem

CIRCUMVENTION FOR APAR SE59582 :
--------------------------------
None.


DESCRIPTION OF PROBLEM FIXED FOR APAR SE59907 :
-----------------------------------------------
Improve reliability and performance of large clusters.

CORRECTION FOR APAR SE59907 :
-----------------------------
The cluster will send fewer messages and will have cluster
resource group (CRG) jobs only on cluster nodes in the CRG
recovery domain.

CIRCUMVENTION FOR APAR SE59907 :
--------------------------------
None.


DESCRIPTION OF PROBLEM FIXED FOR APAR SE60997 :
-----------------------------------------------
Due to an internal lock conflict with cluster, it may cause
cluster code to hit an exception which results in MSGMCH2601 in
the QCSTCRGM job, causing the job to potentially end. The ending
of that job could result in an unpredictable set of events
depending on which node in a cluster that the job is ending on.

One example of an unpredictable event is that it could trigger
failover activities to start in a geomirror environment. The
iASP or iASPs vary off and then CRG recovery domain roles
change.

CORRECTION FOR APAR SE60997 :
-----------------------------
The QCSTCRGM job will avoid the lock conflict, and so the
unexpected ending of the QCSTCRGM job, by caching queue
information.

CIRCUMVENTION FOR APAR SE60997 :
--------------------------------
None.


DESCRIPTION OF PROBLEM FIXED FOR APAR SE61086 :
-----------------------------------------------
OSP-INCORROUT Fixes for reduced cluster messages

CORRECTION FOR APAR SE61086 :
-----------------------------
Several minor fixes for reduced cluster messages.

1. Adding the same CRG node to a CRG will no longer cause the
CRG job to end.
2. A cluster API request will not hang if there are no active
CRG nodes.
3. A CRG will be deleted from a node not in the recovery domain
if all the CRG nodes have been removed from the cluster.

CIRCUMVENTION FOR APAR SE61086 :
--------------------------------
None.

None.




Special Instructions


On each node in the cluster, end clustering, apply the fix, and then
start clustering. It is not necessary to update all nodes at the same
time, however, any node without the fix will continue to be a potential
source of the problem.

********************************************************************
THE FOLLOWING ARE SUPERSEDED SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS. IF THE SUPERSEDED
PTF HAS ALREADY BEEN APPLIED AND ITS SPECIAL INSTRUCTION FOLLOWED,
IT IS NOT NECESSARY TO FOLLOW THAT SPECIAL INSTRUCTION AGAIN.
********************************************************************

SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS FOR SUPERSEDED PTF SI51892 :
=================================================

On each node in the cluster, end clustering, end the QPRFSYNCH job,
apply the fix, and then
start clustering. It is not necessary to update all nodes at the same
time, however, any node without the fix will continue to be a potential
source of the problem.


Default Instructions

THIS PTF CAN BE APPLIED IMMEDIATE OR DELAYED.
