Fixed issues

  • The usage message for ham has been corrected. (Ref# 18979)
  • These tests in the test suite no longer report a failure:
    • bk1_genha and bk3_genha no longer fail the ha_dup test. (Ref# 20881)
    • Regression test bk2_hamcondition. (Ref# 20882)
    • HAM/CPM: (Regression) bk1_hamrestart. (Ref# 20883)
  • The ham_stop_nd() function is now implemented in libham. (Ref# 23118)
  • The ha_ReConnectAttach() function no longer occasionally fails with an error of EBADF (bad file number) when all the arguments are correct. (Ref# 23818)

Known issues

  • If you advance the system time (e.g. by using the date utility), the HA manager thinks it's missed some heartbeats. (Ref# 22150)
  • In Microsoft Windows, certain programs (e.g. Norton Ghost) add directories inside double quotation marks (e.g. ...;"c:\Program Files\Norton Ghost\";...) to your PATH environment variable. This causes the Cygwin spawn() function to fail, which in turn causes cp to fail when called by ln-w. (Ref# 20046)

    Workaround: Modify your PATH environment variable and remove any quotation marks.
