Problem summary

• ****************************************************************
  * USERS AFFECTED:  All users of the node maintenance mode      *

  * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: When a node is set into maintenance     *
  *                      mode, the status remains "in            *
  *                      progress".                              *

  * RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
  ****************************************************************
  The node maintenance mode action first sets all the servers on
  the node into maintenance mode. After that, the node is set
  into maintenance mode. Before a server is set into maintenance
  mode, the application placement controller identifies a
  replacement for the server that is going into maintenance. If a
  problem occurs while setting a server into "maintenance mode",
  the node is not set back into "normal" state.
  

Problem conclusion

• The node maintenance mode function was fixed to skip the
  communication with the application placement controller
  for servers that are stopped, for servers that belong to
  dynamic clusters that are in manual mode, and for servers that
  belong to static clusters. The error path was changed, so that
  the node is set back to "normal" state when the error occurs.
