Very similiar to our network, except we're trying to have all 594
controllers.  Did you use the *same* config file or create a new one?

Normally when I saw these symptoms it was the WRKCFGL that didn't match the
LU name (or was that the missing host table entry?).  Anyway, make sure the
name is in the config list and the IP address is the same as it was.  Is
RM080 the same name it used to be?

Any errors on the Perle?
