Your understanding is wrong. HA can detect and handle the failure of
a single adapter or network drop and switch to a standby. A complete
network failure means there are no working standby adapters so
switching is pointless. You need to work with IBM support to make
sure your levels of HA code are up to date. HA should be able to
survive a network failure based on my experience.
