Node9 usually a perfectly behaving machine suddenly loses network connections.

= Troubleshooting =

Going through all the procedures to see which component was to blame took an entire day, unfortunately during quite a busy period for projects.

It turns out the machine nor its network interfaces were not to blame. This was time wasted because it turned out to be a Network Services issue. They were chaning around network hubs and some cabling did not get re-seated properly, it would seem.

Here are the details

The Butts Wynd Data Centre Core Switches' (BWDC Cisco Nexus 5672s) port-channel linking your High Performance Computing System (Viglen HX425Ca - Asset 03267, rack 17 position 35) is now up and running (see output included below), having re-seated the copper cabling connecting up both of its Ethernet interfaces. Please do let us know if this problem re-occurs.
