We had a repeat of this issue from 02/07/17.
Multiple iSeries LPARs - Pencor05, Pencor06, Pencor07, Penco08 My
connections to 4 different LPARS, 3 different NICS, all at the same time.
Not all users at once.
About 20 every minute.
Each user only once (so far)
No entries in PAL, LIC.
Only this pattern in each joblog and QHST.

This time we have some additional info.
We lost some fiber connections to some remote offices due to this past
weekend's Northeaster.
To recover, some dark, spare, fibers were being lit up.
There is suspicion that during this process, some "noise" may have been
created on the network, causing devices to lose their IP address.
Each time a session dropped, we saw a new lease was obtained on the PC, we
also saw this back in 2017.
Anybody from the group ever have similar experiences or are there any
tools/methods to confirm this?
It will happen again.

We found what happened but we did not find the source.
The NIC card on the PCs were sent a command to shutoff.
From the PC Windows System log.
Event ID 7036 - The TCP/IP NetBIOS Helper service was successfully sent a
stop control.

Interesting find
PC obtained a new lease shortly before the CPF5140 was posted.
I'm not a network person, but could there have been an issue with leases
expiring and being renewed?

Started at 12:45.
Multiple iSeries LPARs - Pencor05, Pencor06, Pencor07, Penco08 My

Not all users at once.
About 20 every minute.

No entries in any logs. PAL, LIC, QHST
Problem appears to have stopped around 14:25.
iSeries performance graph showed high number of TCP connection resets
during the 12:45 thru 14:25 problem window.
from 3 LPARS, 3 different NICs
Appears that only 5250 Client Access and GUI was impacted (PC traffic).
from 3 LPARS, 3 different NICs All other applications (hundreds) connecting
to both internal and external remotes were fine.
Possibly an issue with QTVDEVICE jobs ???

We saw something similar a few years ago. Turned out it was a glitch in an
addressing table in one of our switches.
