SRDF sync delay and port bounce fixes it.

We have some script which runs periodically and sync the SRDF . The following "symrdf -g p760_data -bcv query" stayed in syncinprogress for almost a day and got synchronzied as soon as we bounce(offline/online) the RA/RF port. (Note that this a SRDF from a BCV copy which suppose to get synced every four hours)

Also i could see that after the bounce the "symstat -ra all "returns a five digit total. ( during the problem the total was three digit). Also note that we have three databases which syncs this way and all of them were in the status till the prt bounce. This is a repeated incident now.

BCV017* 055D RW 0 0 RW 0C9B WD 0 0 S.. Synchronized


What could lead to this situation? Any network/WAN perforamnce issue contributing to this? My concern is if there is a reall WAN issue how the swich port bounce help. So i hesitate to go with WAN issue at this moment( i dont have a statitics at the network level at this moment)
