Closed as program error.
Error description
harmad uses AIX system call times() which returns the number of clock ticks. This number overflows the used integer variable, resulting in a negative number. This happens if a node is up for more than 248 days. I the file /var/ha/run/haem*/aixos/harmad.trace entries like: aixos_workq_waittime() returned: return value = -673212. are logged.
Local fix
Problem summary
If a system has been up for more than 245 days, the AIX system call times which returns the number of clock ticks can return a negative number which causes the harmad daemon to not poll the system correctly. As a result registered events that are triggered, might not be recognized.
Problem conclusion
harmad has been modified to better handle a system that has been up for more than 245 days.
