APAR status

  • Closed as program error.

Error description

  • When PowerHA is deactivating filesystems, and the
    filesystems are still held open by running processes,
    then processing may hang on the "procfiles" command if
    there are local NFS-based mounts that are outside of
    PowerHA control.
    

Local fix

  • Avoid using NFS mounts that are not under PowerHA
    control,
    and assure that the Application Stop Scripts completely
    stop all processes so that the filesystems can be cleanly
    unmounted.
    

Problem summary

  • CL_DEACTIVATE_FS hangs
     when external NFS in use.
    

Problem conclusion

  • Code changes has been done
    to handle the problematic scenario.
