ERROR DESCRIPTION:                                              
ON AIX V5.3, with ND V6.1.0.11 installed and XD V6.1.0,         
operation alerts are issued indicating that the defaultcoregroup
is in an unstable state.  Also nodeagents are reported as not   
running when in fact the nodeagents are running.  APAR PK48624  
which supercedes PK47074 has been applied and did not resolve   
the problem.                                                    

LOCAL FIX:                                                      

PROBLEM SUMMARY

USERS AFFECTED:
All users of WebSphere Application Server
also running WebSphere Extended Deployment
Operations Optimization Version 6.1
All users of WebSphere Extended Deployment
Operations Optimization Version 6.1 using
the runtime operations operational alerts.

PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:
False operational alerts are being
displayed in regards to agents for
unmanaged nodes being down.

RECOMMENDATION:
None

The false operational alerts are being displayed because
the code incorrectly assumes that unmanaged nodes have agents.
Since no agent can be found for an unmanaged node the code
assumes that the agent is down.

PROBLEM CONCLUSION:                                             
The code was fixed to no longer assume unmanaged nodes have     
agents and the fix was made available for the 6.1 release.      
The fix will be included in Service Pack 6.1.0.1 for WebSphere  
Extended Deployment Operations Optmization.

Customers must be at V6.0.2.2 or newer of the Update Installer.  This can be checked by reviewing the level of the Update Installer in file <was_root>/updateinstaller/version.txt.

1) Copy 6.1.0.0-WS-WXDOP-IFPK54111.pak file directly to the maintenance directory

2) Shutdown WebSphere
Manually execute setupCmdLine.bat in Windows or . ./setupCmdLine.sh in Unix from the WebSphere instance that maintenance is being applied to.

3) Launch Update Installer

4) Enter the installation location of the WebSphere product you want to update.

5) Select the "Install maintenance package" operation.

6) Enter the file name of the maintenance package to install (6.1.0.0-WS-WXDOP-IFPK54111.pak file which was copied in the maintenance directory).  The V5.0 and V5.1 fix packs and fixes are unpacked as .jar files and should be unpacked into fixpacks or fixes directory.
