This may be a very silly answer but why not make it an hdr secondary? Even with a non existent primary I would expect this to make it read only? Or have I missed something. Regards, — Clive EIsen

If this is important to you get someone to setup https://oss.oetiker.ch/smokeping/ from the users site(s) to the server site. That way if someone says oh it was slow an hour ago you can look and immediately see if it’s network latency. As other say DNS and in particular reverse dns - if forward ...

The only way to be 100% sure is to turn off the problem server (or give it a new ip)and then wait for the arp table to catch up and try pinging the old ip. Other than that I have no idea. - Clive Eisen GPG: 3818B5F1

As a complete guess has someone put a new machine on the networkwith a duplicate ip of the server that keeps 'disconnecting'? - Clive Eisen

The only sure way is to do a test restore and verify 1) The engine comes online2) Very recent data in the source server is indeed in the restore. Also please please dd (or equivalent) /dev/zero or /dev/random over the chunks before each restore test. Those of you old enough to remember the SCO icc ...
