RE: Additional IOA connection

["Sal Stangarone Jr." <sals@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Since going to V4R5 we to have had telnet sessions dropping.  Rochester also
says it's a network issue but I haven't changed anything in my network
except swapping a V4R4 machine with a new iSeries V4R5 machine.  I certainly
don't have enough network traffic to justify a additional IOA.  I'll leaning
towards this being a problem with either the new OS or the hardware.  Any
other ideas?

Subject: Additional IOA connection


We have been experiencing a tremendous amount of telnet sessions dropping
and tcp/ip connections breaking to our NT servers since we've gone live
with V4R5 and migrated to an 830 2-way.  We have approximately 350
interactive users, 80 tcpip connections used by Datamirror's Transformation
server product, and 30 ODBC users.  Rochester has looked and looked at our
system and all they can say is our problem is 'network congestion'.  One
suggestion has been to add another IOA and define another ethline.  I'd
like to try this but I can't find any GOOD examples in the Information
Center or the books on CD for this scenario.  Could anyone who has done
this please share HOW they did it?  I've read the short write-up on
duplicate route-based load balancing and load balancing with virtual IP,
but I don't see HOW I can 'tell' my IP traffic which line to use.  In other
words, I want to restrict my telnet traffic to one ethline and all other ip
traffic to the other ethline.  Am I dreaming?  Can this be done?  Many
thanks for your help.
