Symptoms:
	PHSS_28624:

	The following symptoms may be seen when the XP/CA device
	group has more than 12 LUNs.

	1. During package startup, the package will fail and log a
	   message stating that the fence level is in a MIXED state
	   even though the fence level for the device group is not
	   in a MIXED state.

	2. During resynchronization from the SVOL, the package may
	   fail and log a message stating that "The copy of the
	   device group is stuck" even though the copy is not stuck.

Defect Description:
	PHSS_28624:

	1. The MetroCluster binary does not allocate enough memory
	   to store all of the output of the pairdisplay command
	   when the device group contains more than 12 devices.
	   The output is used to determine which fence level is
	   used and the copy percentage completed during
	   resynchronization. Since it does not allocate enough
	   memory for the output, it truncates the information
	   without telling the caller that the information is
	   incomplete. Therefore, the caller treats the truncated
	   output as valid output and incorrectly determines the
	   fence level and the copy percentage completed from this
	   truncated output.

	2. The same reason as stated in item 1.

Enhancement:
	No
