OS Level TCP/IP problems

[tony2944]

Hi All,

We are builting a DataCenter with Vmware Sphere 4.0.0 and ESX server with 4.0 Update 2 and the OS is linux 10SP1 with Kernel 2.6.16.60-0.54.6-vmivae.
We are having virtualization with linux and installed WebSpehere for some of the applications.
Our Problem is :
HOST A and HOST B are in the above version with Virtualization and HOST B is Server and HOST A is client.Client is initiating a SOCKET request and it will connect to HOST A and in the HOST B we are seeing as ESTABLISHED when we issue a netstat command.
We are doing some Failover for the redudant setup.
When we power off the HOST A we are seeing that the SOCKET is not showing the disconnected status in HOST B and still it is showing as ESTABLISHED.

What will be the problem?.Any help is really helpfull.

How is the failover supposed to work??? Is SLED supposed to do the failover or the other software?

Failover is just we are doing the VMware Poweroff.
