Symptoms

The symptoms are that iControl REST requests can go un-responded or come back with bad responses.

Impact

Unusable REST API.

Conditions

icrd starts much before restjavad

Workaround

The workaround is to restart the icrd service after ascertaining that restjavad is running - 'bigstart status restjavad' followed by 'bigstart restart icrd'.

Fix Information

Now the icrd service will wait until the restjavad service is completely up and responding.
