Issue

  • During reboot/ANDU (or mgwd restart), SVM config directory generation is triggered by MGWD online callback.
  • The MGWD thread running vsdircopy can hang indefinitely.
  • The hang occurs when ssh-keygen prompts for overwrite confirmation because an SSH host key file already exists:

/.../config/etc/ssh/ssh_host_rsa_key already exists.
Overwrite (y/n)?

  • SVM operational-state not set (blank/unset in vserver show -fields operational-state)
  • LIFs fail to revert home / upgrade cannot be finalized
  • SVM deletion may get stuck (SMV remains in deleting state)
