This parameter specifies the local host for high availability disaster recovery (HADR) TCP communication.
Either a host name or an IP address can be used. If a host name is specified and it maps to multiple IP addresses, an error is returned, and HADR will not start up. If the host name maps to multiple IP addresses (even if you specify the same host name on primary and standby), primary and standby can end up mapping this host name to different IP addresses, because some DNS servers return IP address lists in non-deterministic order.
A host name is in the form: myserver.ibm.com. An IP address is in the form: "12.34.56.78".
