Wow they are still having this issues.  Man that issue is almost 2 years
old.  I'm just glad I don't have it our environment anymore.

We have a similar configuration and we are having the same issue. Legato at
this time does not have any fix for this. We have a case open and all
recommendations so far failed to correct this.



The only way to reclaim the device/s is to do a jbconfig.

We have done every trick in the book and all failed.



Good luck!!
