Verifying the DVIPAs in a sysplex

The following display command can be used to display dynamic VIPAs in a sysplex:

d tcpip,tcpname,sysplex,vipadyn

In the following example taken from stack TCPCS, the ORIGIN lines show that 201.2.10.11, 201.2.10.12, 201.2.10.14, 201.2.10.15, DVIPA1, and DVIPA2 were all created by VIPADEFINE on this stack. 201.2.10.13, 201.2.10.21, and 201.2.10.22 were created by VIPABACKUP statements. (Note that the deactivated DVIPA 201.2.10.23 does not appear in this display.)

The ORIGIN line indicates how the DVIPA is configured on the stack specified by tcpname. Each stack (TCPNAME) for each system (MVSNAME) is shown with its status (STATUS). Two other status values not shown in the following example are:
QUIESCING
This DVIPA has been deactivated, or it was a target for distribution and has been removed as a target. However, it is still servicing one or more connections for this DVIPA. The DVIPA will be removed when all connections complete.
MOVING
This DVIPA was active on this stack and has been moved to another stack. Connections on this stack for this DVIPA prior to the move will still be serviced by this stack until completion.
The rank (RANK) indicates which of the stacks is eligible to take over if the stack on which the DVIPA is active stops. The stack with the highest rank is the one that will take over the DVIPA.
