Problems with osa-dispatcher/osad/push infrastructure in a multi-node active-passive / highly-available Satellite setup

Issue

• When starting the osa-dispatcher service, the follow error is returned:

[root@satnode2 ~]# /etc/init.d/osa-dispatcher restart
Shutting down osa-dispatcher:                              [FAILED]

• Another problem is that osad clients are not picking up scheduled actions. The client side osad log had the following errors:
