  ****************************************************************
  The 8.5 version of xscmd showQuorumStatus command uses an
  MBean operation that is depreciated in V8.5 to
  determine the quorum status.  In V8.6, the depreciated
  MBean operation has been removed, which causes the V8.5
  xscmd showQuorumStatus command to report that the 8.6 catalog
  servers is unreachable.
  

Problem conclusion

• The 8.5 version of xscmd showQuorumStatus was corrected to use
  an alternative mechanism to retrieve quorum status.  It no
  longer tries to use the depreciated MBean operation.
