TCP2617 Reason Code 2 and Reason Code 3

[Bryce Martin <BMartin@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello All,
We've got ourselves a pretty interesting problem right now and searching 
around the archives and the web haven't gotten me anywhere yet.

We have two IBM i machines running in the same rack, connected by a 
switch.  One machine is the Host machine and the other a Target machine 
for HA(not our primary HA backup machine so lets not start a war over its 
location).  Each machine has two NIC cards.  One of them in each machine 
is dedicated for HA traffic by using the TCP/IP routing table.  So the 
next hop for each machine is the other machine, yada yada.  I think that 
the Target machine has to be dropping a connection or something because 
our Host machine is our main production box and we aren't having any 
problems with its connections.  Could it be cabling?  The switch 
ports?(network guys claim there are no dropped packets on those ports). Or 
is there something I can check on the Target machine to see a log of 
TCP/IP coming up and down?  It almost has to be the Target machine because 
we have our main Target in another state and we don't have these issues 
even with passing through a firewall.

Any thoughts would be appreciated.


Thanks
