IDS 11.50.xC2 - Minor Upgrade Problems

I just upgraded my test IDS MACH cluster from IDS 11.50.FC1 to 11.50.FC2 and encountered two minor problems:

1. The SDS server didn't come up after the upgrade. It stuck in fast recovery and the Primary Server was blocked in a checkpoint. I was able to shutdown the SDS server via 'onmode -ky' but needed to kill the Primary server. After starting the Primary Server again, I dropped the SDS server via 'onmode -d delete SDS ', re-added it thru 'onmode -d add SDS ' and re-started the SDS node. Same situation again, it stuck in 'fast recovery'. After another restart, I dropped the 'sysha' database, re-added my SDS node and everything runs fine know. However I didn't find anything in the IDS 11.50.xC2 Releasenotes that this needs to be done when upgrading from 11.50.xC1 to 11.50.xC2.
