<p>Good morning.</p>
<p>I recently set up SIMH running under Linux to replace some aging
VAX hardware. The SIMH instance is about 30% faster than the
actual hardware, which is a nice win. I'm running the current code
from GitHub, which I downloaded on Monday.<br>
</p>
<p>I have a dedicated Ethernet device on the Linux system for the
SIMH instance.<br>
</p>
<p>It's in a cluster of other machines, and all is working well
except for one thing. Every 15--60 seconds, it loses and
re-establishes contact with the cluster:<br>
</p>
<blockquote>
<pre>%CNXMAN, lost connection to system VADER
%CNXMAN, re-established connection to system VADER
</pre>
</blockquote>
And these OPCOM messages from VADER:<br>
<blockquote>
<pre>%%%%%%%%%%% OPCOM 18-JUL-2018 11:33:01.26 %%%%%%%%%%% (from node VADER a)
11:32:46.71 Node VADER (csid 00010078) lost connection to node DARTH
%%%%%%%%%%% OPCOM 18-JUL-2018 11:33:01.26 %%%%%%%%%%% (from node VADER a)
11:32:49.21 Node VADER (csid 00010078) re-established connection to node DARTH
</pre>
</blockquote>
It recovers every time, but everything hangs briefly while
connectivity is re-established, and, of course, it's generating a
ton of OPCOM messages, since this happens every 15--60 seconds.<br>
<br>
Has anyone else seen this issue or have any suggestions?<br>
<pre>Thanks!
