Error description

  • The crtmqm command was executed to create an RDQM queue manager
    on a drbdpool volume group
    which had a size of zero ("VG Size"= 0).
    The crtmqm command encountered an internal error, caused by a
    divide
    by zero in xruQueryDiskUsageVolumeGroup.  An example FDC
    follows:

    PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:
    A defect in the code meant that the crtmqm command failed to
    protect against the divide by zero error.
    

Problem conclusion

  • The defect has been fixed so that a meaningful error is reported
    to the user following an attempt to create an RDQM queue manager
    using a volume group with a size of zero.
