## Symptoms

- The sum of "*Concurrent Connections* " values in the output of "*fw ctl pstat* " command on *all* cluster members is greater than the "*maximum concurrent connections*" that was defined in cluster object in SmartDashboard.

*Example from ClusterXL in Load Sharing Unicast mode with 2 members - the total sum shows 103%*:

* In cluster object, the "maximum concurrent connections" was set to 2 400 000.   

* The Pivot member should handle 30% of connections

  Output of "*fw ctl pstat*" command shows:
  `Machine Capacity Summary:`  
  `
  Concurrent Connections: `***33% (811195 out of 2399900)***` - below low watermark`   

* The non-Pivot member should handle 70% of connections.

  Output of "*fw ctl pstat*" command shows:
  `Machine Capacity Summary:`  
  `
  Concurrent Connections: `***70% (1696907 out of 2399900)***` - below low watermark`
