When the KDEB_INTERFACELIST configuration setting is used, it may not result in the expected behavior when the following two conditions are true, thus resulting in components showing as offline: 1. The first address in the list is invalid. 2. The second address is valid. In this instance, the valid (second) interface is never used or marked as the preferred interface. The RAS1 log error messages indicate no attempt to connect on the valid address.
Problem conclusion
Code was changed to recognize and mark as preferred the first valid interface found in the list. The fix for this APAR is contained in the following maintenance packages: | fix pack | 6.2.2-TIV-ITM-FP0009 | fix pack | 6.2.3-TIV-ITM-FP0002 The original problem (that this APAR fix addresses) was contained in the following maintenance packages: | MDVREGR | 6.2.2-TIV-ITM-FP0007 | MDVREGR | 6.2.2-TIV-ITM-FP0008 | MDVREGR | 6.2.3-TIV-ITM-FP0001
