Wait a minute. This thread is about server recovery, not communications failures. You are mixing up errors and situations here. Communications failures will result in timeouts on the server and that will result in evictions which will result in EIOs for your applications. This has got nothing to do with server recovery though. > "Request ... has timed out > (limit 7s)", "Connection to service was lost; in progress operations > using this service will fail", finally "Connection restored to service". Yes. This is a timeout and nothing to do with the subject of server recovery. b.
