While vradmin commands are running, vradmind may temporarily lose heartbeats (3347656, 3724338)

This issue may occasionally occur when you use vradmin commands to administer Volume Replicator (VVR). While the vradmin commands run, vradmind may temporarily lose heartbeats, and the commands terminate with the following error message:

VxVM VVR vradmin ERROR V-5-52-803 Lost connection to host host; 
terminating command execution.

Workaround:

To resolve this issue:

Depending on the application I/O workload and the network environment, uncomment and increase the value of the IPM_HEARTBEAT_TIMEOUT variable in the /etc/vx/vras/vras_env on all the hosts of the replicated data set (RDS) to a higher value. The following example increases the timeout value to 120 seconds:

   export IPM_HEARTBEAT_TIMEOUT
   IPM_HEARTBEAT_TIMEOUT=120
   <!--NeedCopy-->

Restart vradmind on all the hosts of the RDS to put the new IPM_HEARTBEAT_TIMEOUT value into affect. Enter the following on all the hosts of the RDS:

   # /etc/init.d/vras-vradmind.sh stop
   # /etc/init.d/vras-vradmind.sh start
