SYMPTOMS
When you use the SNA Server 2.11 Service Pack 1 Barr Channel Link Service, the following can occur:
 * LUs do not activate after the connection is active.


 * A connection using the Barr Systems, Inc. Link service does not recover from system reset. This is commonly seen after host IPL. The connection must be stopped and restarted in order for the connection be go active.



RESOLUTION
A flow control problem that occurred during LU activation has been fixed. All LUs now become active at startup.

Also, the link service automatically recovers and activates the link.

Barr Channel Link Service version #9601 corrects both of these problems. Contact Barr Systems, Inc. at (800) 227-7797 for this driver update. A workaround is to revert to the SNA Server 2.11 version of Barr Channel Link Service and driver.



STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in SNA Server version 2.11.sp1. This problem was corrected in the latest Microsoft SNA Server 2.11 U.S. Service Pack. For information on obtaining the service pack, query on the following word in the Microsoft Knowledge Base (without the spaces):
