APAR status
Closed as program error.
Error description
Issue 1) Corrupting the repository and running chrepos. VIOS only, has script callouts. These callouts have an unset timeout meaning they can potentially hang. Issue 2) Adding a new node was using the default cluster timeout instead of the user set cluster timeout. Issue 3) Scripts that take longer than 6min 12sec get timed out without waiting the full period of "config_timeout". For example, on vios nodes, the default is 8 minutes but the initiator node was timing out the connections at 6min 12sec.

Problem summary
Issue 1) Corrupting the repository and running chrepos. VIOS only, has script callouts. These callouts have an unset timeout meaning they can potentially hang. Issue 2) Adding a new node was using the default cluster timeout instead of the user set cluster timeout. Issue 3) Scripts that take longer than 6min 12sec get timed out without waiting the full period of "config_timeout". For example, on vios nodes, the default is 8 minutes but the initiator node was timing out the connections at 6min 12sec.
Problem conclusion
Issue 1) Use the values set in the kernext. Issue 2) Use the user cluster timeout for the new node. Issue 3) Improved the logic to take into account the "config_timeout" tunable and use that value before timing out a connection.
Temporary fix
