DB2 - Problem description

Problem IT05398 Status: Closed

RSCT WILL NOT NOTIFY DB2 THAT THE PORT IS DOWN WHEN WE MOVE THAT PORT TO
ANOTHER DIFFERENT VLAN

product:
DB2 FOR LUW / DB2FORLUW / A50 - DB2
Problem description:
Scenario : 
All the ports of the servers are belong to a same VLAN(e.g 
VlAN10) , if we change the  RoCE0 of one member(e.g:member0) to 
another different VLAN(e.g VLAN11) , after about 5 minutes , db 
connect will hang on the rest of members(e.g:member1 and 
member2), member0 works as normal . 
 
EDUs on member 1 and 2 is waiting for 
000E0000000000000000000076 SQLP_VALLOCK. The holder is member0. 
This caused the hang one member 1,2. 
 
From db2diag.log file for member0 , db2CFConnPoolMgr 0 is 
repeating sqleCaCeConnect, probe:720 and 
sqleSingleCaCreateNewConnec, probe:2135  when we connected to 
PRIMARY CF from device hba0, and it reports that PsConnect 
failed and port state detected by RSCT to be online, but 
encountered error.

Indeed, the ibstat output shows that port state as "UP" , 
---------------------------------------------------------------- 
ETHERNET PORT 1 INFORMATION (roce0) 
---------------------------------------------------------------- 
 Link State: UP 
 Link Speed: 10G XFI 
 Link MTU: 9600 
 Hardware Address: f4:52:14:cf:4a:da 
 GIDS (up to 3 GIDs): 
 GID0 :00:00:00:00:00:00:00:00:00:00:f4:52:14:cf:4a:da 
 GID1 :00:00:00:00:00:00:00:00:00:00:ff:ff:0a:de:01:65 
 GID2 :00:00:00:00:00:00:00:00:00:00:00:00:00:00:00:00 
 
And all the EDU's kept trying to reconnect to the CF using hba0 
and did not try to use hba1 . 
 
Since we using RSCT to detect network adapter status , so if 
the status of the port is UP, RSCT will think it is UP and will 
notify DB2 that the port is "UP".While in this case , because 
of the VLAN isolation ,the port is suppose to report as 
INACTIVE state , so the expected behavior should be used hba1 
to reconnect to CF for all EDU's . 
 
As the exposure scenario is not covered in lab, and we didn't 
consider it at the beginning design ,so lead to the current 
problem.
