Error description
When the PCIe2 2-port 10GbE SR Adapter (a21910071410d003) is disabled/enabled it also needs to reset the physical link so that switch fabric is aware of the change and can clear its arp table of entries associated with the port. This can cause an outage in an VIOS environment where adapter disable/enable is used to update switch fabric which adapter is bridging traffic.
Local fix
If this is a VIOS environment APAR IV59795 may restore correct function.
Problem summary

Problem conclusion
Driver is fixed to bring down link when adapter is disabled.
Temporary fix
