Netfinity ESCON Adapter - Link broken after several buffers are sent
Applicable to: World-Wide
Problem:
Communication link breaks after several buffers are sent. This only happens on 2.1 nodes.
Configuration:
- Netfinity Servers running Windows NT 4.0.
- Microsoft SNA SERVER running with a MAX BTU Length larger than 4105.
Symptoms:
For Microsoft SNA Server:
An active link will be reset after several buffers are sent. The error in the Windows NT 4.0 event log is: Connection Failure
Connection = TV00@5
Link Service = ECLINK1
Outage Code = 0005
Explanation:
A link service reported a connection failure to the node. For Netware for SAA, even though the Max PIU size is set for higher than 4105, the link will only run at 4105. No problem exist in Communication Server for Windows NT. (CS/NT)
Workaround:
Microsoft SNA Server: Set the 'Max BTU Length' parameter to 4105 or smaller.
Novell for SAA: Set the Maximum PIU size to 4105 or smaller.
Solution:
Update Firmware to Version 2.0. This firmware will be shipping with the Netfinity ESCON Adapter Software CD Version 1.1, expected deliverable April 1999. Follow the directions in the x:\Firmware\Readme.txt file on the Netfinity ESCON Adapter Software Version 1.1 CD, for instructions on checking and loading new firmware levels.
