	    SSEA Integration backup fails with an error:

	      "[Critical] From: SSEA@<hostname> ""  Time:<time>
	         Unexpected close reading message from the agent

Defect Description:
	PHSS_25966:
	Id = HSLco31734
	    Backup is made in SSEA/split mirror backup environment
	    with the Application host in the cluster. When
	    restoring object on the Backup host (R2), which is not
	    in the cluster the cluster tag (-c y) from the
	    Application host is also restored, so the volume group
	    can not be activated properly.

	Resolution:
	    By default the cluster tag on the Backup host (R2) is
	    disabled with the "vgchange -q n -c n" command. To
	    enable the cluster tag on Backup host, set the new
	    environment variable SMB_CLUS_DEACT=1 in the
	    /opt/omni/.omnirc file.

	Id = HSLco30165
	    During the mapping from logical devices to raw disks
	    the target numbers are incorrectly assigned.

	Resolution:
	    Mapping from logical devices to raw disks
	    is done correctly.

	    Part of SSPUX400_010.

	PHSS_24986:
	Id = HSLco27782
	    Session fails when backup system is left enabled,
	    SSEA_PRESERVE_MOUNTPOINTS is set to 1 in .omnirc
	    file and backup is restarted.

	Resolution:
	    Mountpoint is rechecked becouse it can change.

	Id = HSLco28452
	    If the volume group is located in a cluster on the
	    application side, it is not possible to activate
	    this volume group in "rw" mode on the backup side.

	Resolution:
	    By default volume group on the backup side is activated
	    in read only mode, unless the "Enable the backup system
	    in read/write mode" option is set for the backup.

	Id = NSMex04611
	    Because of the large number of backup volumes agent and
	    backup session manager lost connection to the ssea on
	    the application side in the middle of resolve function.

	Resolution:
	    Buffer concatenation is fixed.

	    Part of SSPUX400_004.
