   3. Are the peer HMCs with the missing connection present in the topology?
      • No: Continue with the next step.

2. Is the HMC that reported the connection errors also reporting a hardware error with a network adapter?
   • No: Continue with the next step.
   • Yes: Service this network adapter error. This ends the procedure.

3. Verify that each peer HMC with a missing connection is powered on and that its ethernet connections are secure and functioning. Does the problem persist?
