  • 1.  Question regarding DVIPAs

    Posted Mon November 18, 2024 01:03 PM

    I'm in the process of converting a Omegamon Hub to become Highly Available. I'm reading more into DVIPA and wanted to know what's the best practice for the following statements, DVIPADYNAMIC, DVIPADEFINE, DVIPARANGE. We'll be running a single instance of OMEGAMON Hub with the started task name OMEGHAH. We'll move the started task as one LPAR goes down.

    • LPARB (Acting distributor) - All the VIPA statements reside here for other started tasks. 
    • LPARA (Preferred Primary for Omegamon hub)
    • LPARC

    Do we need the following statement in each TCPIP stack?

    DYNAMICXCF x.x.x.a  255.255.255.0 1 
    SYSPLEXROUTING                             

    VIPADYNAMIC
     VIPADEFINE 255.255.255.0 x.x.x.V
     VIPADISTRIBUTE DEFINE DISTM HOTSTANDBY x.x.x.V
    PORT xxx DESTIP
    x.x.x.b  - LPAR1
     x.x.x.a - LPAR2

    x.x.x.c - LPAR3
    ENDVIPADYNAMIC

    I would like to know more about VIPARANGE. Could you provide more details on VIPARANGE and some use case scenario?
