Patch availability: General Availability
Product (s) Supported: This patch is valid only on LifeKeeper 9.5.1.

Issue(s) addressed by this patch:
PL-7858 - The physical IP address is set to 0.0.0.2/0 via a restore or recover of a protected virtual IP address when the restore or recover occurs after running the command "ifdown <dev>" where <dev> is NIC on which the virtual IP resource is attached.


Patch description:
This patch provides the following improvement to the IP ARK restore and recovery processing:

1) This patch prevents the physical address from being set to 0.0.0.2/0 during a restore or recover of a virtual IP resource.  The incorrect setting of the physical IP address only occurs if the command "ifdown <dev>" is run prior to the restore or recover operation.
