Hotfix hf8003

hf8003 resolves SCR 7673 - Xen netback driver crashes when receiving large packets. This issue is typically observed in grids that are using a 10G backbone network. However it is also possible for this issue to occur in grids that use a 1G backbone network if "gro" (generic receive offload) is enabled on the NICs used by the servers of the grid. This hotfix is only for Xen-based grids.

This hotfix is only for xen based 3.5.19 grids (and may not be used with any other CA AppLogic® version). This hotfix replaces files on the servers of the grid. Therefore, a grid reboot is required after applying this hotfix. If this hotfix is installed on a grid and afterwards a new server is added to the grid, this hotfix is automatically installed on the newly added server, however the newly added server must be rebooted for the hotfix to take effect. If a grid is created and hf8003 is installed during the grid creation process, the grid needs to be rebooted after the grid creation has completed in order for the hotfix to take effect.
