APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• BE Support Engineer:  CJ
  Change Team Engineer: EJ
  SAMP: 3.2.2
  
  Problem Description: When displaying cluster information using
  "lssam -top" a change in request state is not updated to the
  lssam output.
  For example:
  Online IBM.ResourceGroup:db2-rg Nominal=Online
          |- Online IBM.Application:db2-rs
                  |- Online IBM.Application:db2-rs:node03
                  '- Offline IBM.Application:db2-rs:node04
          '- Online IBM.ServiceIP:db2ip-rs
                  |- Online IBM.ServiceIP:db2ip-rs:node03
                  '- Offline IBM.ServiceIP:db2ip-rs:node04
  Issue command:
  rgreq -o lock db2-rg
  
  Then lssam -top output changes to show
  Control=SuspendedPropagated on the aggregate resource for each
  of the resources in the targetted resource group, see below:
  Online IBM.ResourceGroup:db2-rg Nominal=Online
          |- Online IBM.Application:db2-rs Control=SuspendedPro...
                  |- Online IBM.Application:db2-rs:node03
                  '- Offline IBM.Application:db2-rs:node04
          '- Online IBM.ServiceIP:db2ip-rs Control=SuspendedPro...
                  |- Online IBM.ServiceIP:db2ip-rs:node03
                  '- Offline IBM.ServiceIP:db2ip-rs:node04
  
  The RG should reflect the change due to the request. Stopping
  and restarting the lssam -top will then show the request
  correctly:
  Online IBM.ResourceGroup:db2-rg Request=Lock Nominal=Online
  

Local fix

• Stop and restart the "lssam -top" command

  issued while the command is running.
