Symptoms

The syscalld timeout mechanism might cause premature logging of OPERATION_TIMEOUT messages.

Impact

The system posts the message: syscalld[21190]: 0127000a:3: OPERATION_TIMEOUT 'command' may be hung or taking a long time. This may cause some operations, such as establishing CMI trust, to fail and need to be launched again.

Conditions

No specific configuration is required.

Workaround

None

Fix Information

syscalld's timeout mechanism no longer emits an OPERATION_TIMEOUT message, unless the message appropriately reflects the condition of the system.
