Problem summary

  • As stale ARP cache not allowing network switch to learn the new
    MAC address after LPAR migration, customer will experience
    increase in overall LKU time.
    

Problem conclusion

  • Proactively refresh ARP cache and send active ARP requests to
    PowerVC server before attempting token initialization. This
    ensures network switches learn the new MAC address after LPAR
    migration, preventing connection failures due to stale ARP
    caches.
