Symptoms

The output of the 'show partitions' command should display the current operational status (disabled, running, starting, stopping, failed, etc.) for each partition instance. In some cases, the displayed status is incorrect.

Impact

The user will be misled about the system state.

Conditions

When the chassis has multiple partitions, and there are gaps in the partition IDs, the internal state tracking can fail to record and report the partition state, typically showing that a partition is 'failed', when it is actually operating normally.

Workaround

None

Fix Information

The operational state monitoring has been fixed.
