Error description
- The shutdown of one node in a two node unicast cluster with SANComm configured may cause a kernel panic of the remaining node. - The error report log entry appears as follows: --------------------- LABEL: KERNEL_PANIC . . . PANIC STRING Deadman timer triggered. . . . ---------------------
Local fix
Problem summary
System configured with ethernet, SANCOM and DPCOM may Panic with "Deadman timer triggered." panic string when ethernet is disabled and SANCOM is experiencing outgoing EOVERFLOW transmission errors.
Problem conclusion
Normally it is expected the cluster would fall back to DPCOM in such cases, but that was not happening because the SANCOM interface was not being marked DOWN even though it was experiencing transmission issues. Fixed monitoring of SANComm traffic such that if there is none, it is marked DOWN, leading to enablement of DPCOM.
Temporary fix
