We've got a curious problem here with some linux-guests on a z990 with zVM44 and SLES8, k_deflt-2.4.21-221, Gigabit Ethernet OSA. Sometimes all network connections are going down, e.g. all ssh sessions get lost with timeout etc. A ping doesn't reach the linux. Pings from direct network-neighbours to the linux fail, too. If I log on to the zVM console almost everything looks fine. I can ping it's own IP-address, but not the Gateway's IP-adress or the neighbours. A "mount" or "df" hangs when it should list NFS-mounted directories from other servers. If I reboot the linux-guest the problem is gone. Or I can wait a random time (around 20-45 minutes), suddenly the linux answers again. There are no error-messages in /var/log/messages. I have exactly _no_ idea what I can do now. An "inconfig eth0 down/up" doesn't change anything. I cannot reproduce this error, so I have to wait until it happens the next time. Any hints what I can do when it happens again next time?
