I opened a PMR and found that IBM is working on a Java 8 issue. They do not
have an ETA for a fix.

Remote access to our HMCs is controlled through a 'jump host' we

this problem when I use Windows Remote Desktop access to that jump

Windows machine that is the jump host.


This is a new issue after our Windows guys upgraded the jump host  
to Windows Server 2008 R2 Datacenter 6.1.7601, Java Version 8  
update 31 and we're using Internet Explorer version 8.  I'm pretty  
sure IE is unchanged.


The zSeries HMCs are at 2.12.0 and are unchanged, obviously.

The problem is a fairly consistent forcible session disconnect  
after 45 seconds.  The HMC log simply reports that it was forcibly  
disconnected with no further details, and I haven't found anything  
in any of Window's logs to indicate what or why it was done.  It's  
not an inactivity timeout, active use of the HMC gets cut off just  
as a session that is not being used.


It appears to be restricted to the zSeries HMC, for example our  
Storage Admin team reports no problems with their TPC-R browser  
sessions through the same jump host.  My next move is to find the  
Java configuration file options and see if there's some mindless  
default in there.


I haven't opened an SR yet, I was throwing it out here in case  
somebody's seen this sort of symptom themselves.  Already raised  
the issue of backing out to our Windows team, if they can't assist  
in diagnostics, but I'd prefer to fix it not really having the time  
to go through the annoyance of reinstall.

You may want to check also the java console. Also setting it to debug (I
guess it's done by simply typing 5 when it's opened) might help.
