All,

We have DP XI50 and MQ 6.0.2.4 running on AIX 5.2. After we did the firmware upgrade to DataPower XI50.3.7.3.5 , we notice a lot of connection broken (mqrc 2009) errors. When SSL is disabled the communication between DP and MQ is fine.
It looks like either the firmware upgrade altered the way SSL information is exchanged between the device and MQ or the keystores have now become unusable.

Apart from the firmware upgrade nothing else was changed on either the DP Device or the MQ Server. In fact this service is a daily service and has been working undisturbed for many months now.

Has anyone faced such an issue? We will open a PMR with IBM, but i just wanted to get your views on this issue.

Thanks

On the MQ Server side we see the below errors.
Code:

----- amqccita.c : 3276 -------------------------------------------------------
09/10/09 08:20:43 - Process(995500.990721) User(abcdefgh) Program(amqrmppa)
AMQ9665: SSL connection closed by remote end of channel 'ABCDEFGH'.

EXPLANATION:
The SSL connection was closed by the remote end of the channel during the SSL
handshake. The channel is 'ABCDEFGH'; in some cases its name cannot be
determined and so is shown as '????'. The channel did not start.
ACTION:
Check the remote end of the channel for SSL-related errors. Fix them and
restart the channel.

We have only just started with Datapower in a sandbox lab, so I cannot offer any experience at all. But please, when you get the fix, would you be good enough to post it for all of us?

And, thank you for a very well done post, lots of information is included with your question.

Well, apply maintenance 6.02.7.

* check tcp_nodelayack=1, this is not the default and could delay up to 200ms
no -a | grep tcp_nodelayack

* to set tcp_nodelayack, as root run
no -p -o tcp_nodelayack=1

Thanks Joseph for the helpful pointer.

I also noticed the below technote:

http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21385899

We cannot seem to understand how only this service is impacted. This particular MQ Server is reused by a lot of Clients connected via Server Conn channels and Server-Server channels between multiple queue managers. All tied down with SSL with/without encryption.

Even on the DataPower device, multiple services reuse the same certificates and SSL Profiles.

We might not be able to apply the patch at the earliest as this is a PROD server. Same thing goes for the OS Level setting. However we are now testing this out in our test servers.

A PMR is also open. I will keep you posted on what we hear from the powers to be [read: IBM]

IBM Support informed us that this is an APAR.

Thanks for all the inputs.
