PI12074: Recycle catalog automatic start containers after a brownout recovery.

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• Historically, when multiple catalog primaries within a catalog
  cluster resulted from a brownout recovery, the eXtreme Scale
  domain or appliance collective was rendered corrupt. This
  scenario required manual intervention to make primary shards
  consistent again, or quorum was used to prevent change when
  quorum was violated.

  * USERS AFFECTED:  WebSphere eXtreme Scale and WebSphere       *
  *                  DataPower XC10 Appliance users running      *
  *                  without quorum enabled on their catalog     *

  * RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
  ****************************************************************
  With this fix, when the healing of brownouts lead to a
  partitioned catalog cluster with multiple primaries (as noted
  by the CWOBJ1506 log), 1 of the multiple primaries, and
  any containers also affected by the brownout, now restart. The
  domain recovers to a valid state automatically.
