SYMPTOMS
When you use the SNA Server 2.11 Service Pack 1 Barr Channel Link Service,
the following can occur:
- LUs do not activate after the connection is active.
- A connection using the Barr Systems, Inc. Link service does not recover
from system reset. This is commonly seen after host IPL. The connection
must be stopped and restarted in order for the connection be go active.
RESOLUTION
A flow control problem that occurred during LU activation has been
fixed. All LUs now become active at startup.
Also, the link service automatically recovers and activates the link.
Barr Channel Link Service version #9601 corrects both of these problems.
Contact Barr Systems, Inc. at (800) 227-7797 for this driver update. A
workaround is to revert to the SNA Server 2.11 version of Barr Channel Link
Service and driver.
STATUS

2.11.sp1.
