Re: Issues with SAVRST*

[Evan Harris <spanner@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Pete

I;m probably going to repeat all the stuff you already know, but...

Are you using Anynet across the VLAN rather than out through an 
ethernet interface ? Just wondering if this could cause a difference 
- it would be worth checking the APPC controllers for each system and 
maybe deleting them and letting them auto create on the next connection.

Is QUSER enabled on both systems - I seem to remember this causing me 
grief on a SAVRST* operation at some stage.

Other than that (presuming you are using Anynet):

- Host table entries
- Controllers
- WRKCFGL

Are the usual places I look; since we are talking SAVRST you probably 
don't need distribution queues but out of curiousity are the 
distribution queues and remote systems set up the same ?
