I remember we had to upgrade our Perle controllers' firmware. They had a patch that documented the changes IBM made to APPC LU. I think this changed at V4R4.

Hi Folks, FINALLY went from V4R1 to V4R5 this weekend and it went very well and pretty fast ! After we came up it appeared everything was OK. NOW I see that we have some devices at remote locations (network is Frame Relay, TCP/IP, Ethernet, Perle Control Units, Cisco Routers) that are not working. An example of the error message I am getting: Session start request failed for device MA03 on controller MA010RMT00. (CPF9366) Message ID . . . . . . : CPF9366 Severity . . . . . . . : 40 Message type . . . . . : Diagnostic Date sent . . . . . . : 11/05/01 Time sent . . . . . . : 07:54:39 Message . . . . : Session start request failed for device MA03 on controller MA010RMT00. Cause . . . . . : The request to start a session for a device MA03 on controller MA010RMT00 using mode QRMTWSC on APPC device MA0102 failed. This is a possible configuration problem. Recovery . . . : The Mode QRMTWSC might be incorrect. Compare the active number of sessions with the configured session limit of mode QRMTWSC (DSPMODSTS command). If they are equal, increase the maximum sessions (MAXSSN) parameter of the mode description (CHGMODD command). Make sure the maximum sessions (MAXSSN) and maximum conversations (MAXCNV) parameters are at least one greater than the number of devices attached to controller MA010RMT00. The locally controlled sessions (LCLCTLSSN) should be equal to or greater than the number of devices attached to controller MA010RMT00. There might be a problem in the APPN network. Correct the problem and the system will retry activation. Technical description . . . . . . . . : The request to start a new session failed with Systems Network Architecture (SNA) sense code X'00000000'. A sense code of 00000000 indicates that there is no sense code for this error Descriptions of SNA sense codes are available in the IBM SNA Formats, GA27-3136 and in the APPN Support book, SC41-5407. Check the QSYSOPR message queue for message CPP1236. This message can provide additional information about the failure. I have NO idea why this would happen or what V4R5 would have changed - anyone ? This includes one site completely down but I can ping the router AND control unit with NO PROBLEMS... And another site that has the MAJORITY of devices working except for about 4 or 5. All devices in both situations had LEFT hand cursor too !! And at the site with most devices working, deleting one of the failed decives and waiting a couple of minutes - the system recreates the device and I get the SAME message for this newly created device ! Really weird ! Thanks !
