Intelligent Monitoring Framework (IMF) entry point may fail when IMF detects resource state transition from online to offline for CSSD resource type (3287719)

When IMF detects a state transition from ONLINE to OFFLINE state for a registered online resource, it sends a notification to the CSSD agent. The CSSD agent schedules a monitor to confirm the state transition of the resource. The resources of type CSSD takes more time to go online or offline fully. Therefore, if this immediate monitor finds the resource still in online state, it assumes that the IMF notification is false and attempts to register the resource in online state again.

In such partial state transitions, the agent repeatedly attempts to register the resource until theRegisterRetryLimit is reached (default value is 3) or the resource registration is successful. After the resource is completely offline, the next resource registration with IMF will be successful.

Workaround: Increase the value of the RegisterRetryLimit attribute if multiple registration attempts fail.
