MSF System Failures

When the MSF on a particular system is unable to continue, all sessions to and from that system will fail. Any of the following conditions may cause an MSF system failure:

Any remaining MSF systems can try to reestablish their sessions with the failing system, depending on how the failing system was defined. If the failing system was defined or activated with the RETRY option, the other system will try to reestablish the session. If it was defined or activated with the NORETRY option, the other system waits for the failing system to reestablish the session.

Note: This occurs after the MSF has been restarted and the session is restarted with the RETRY option on the failing system.
