No.

This hardware/system has been in place for years, without change.

My bets are on a problem with the LM itself.

This weekend, the connection died, again. No non-distruptive attempts to
restablish the connection with the LM, worked. Yes, both boxes could PING
each other.  As I told IBM, this is *NOT* a connectivity issue, in the
lan/network sense. This is a "the LM is not responding as an LM".

The only way we got it to work was to reinitialize the LAN ports from the
LM/ATL.

Any chance there is another system out there with the same ip address?
Good luck

Recently, my TSM AIX server has been reporting issues "communicating" with
our 3494 ATL (plain jane....no VTS).    This is not a new connection. Has
been working for years.

TSM has started to notice the issues.

I contacted IBM, who says they couldn't find anything wrong.  We checked
the
network cable, end-to-end, with no media issues.

The AIX /var/adm/messages show:

Any suggestions ?  Clues ?  Where to look ?
