:-) I think I posted recently that ISFC allows only *one* active (UP) connection to an adjacent node. Each time he starts the "duplicate" link he finds that the partner is a node for which he already has an UP link, so he cycles it back to Down and tries again in a few seconds. He is actually exchanging data with the remote node, so the byte count increases. If you want CP to stop doing that, DEACTIVATE ISLINK. ISLINK VTAM / PVM / RSCS ----------- ----------------- Up Connected Down Active deactivated Inactive Think of "Down" for an ISLINK the way every other comms subsystems thinks of "active", and "Up" like "Connected". With Single System Image clusters you will be able to have up to 16 active connections to each adjacent node. Alan Altmark z/VM Development IBM Endicott
