An attempt was made to define and activate a dynamic VIPA (using VIPADEFINE, takeover while defined as VIPABACKUP, VIPARANGE IOCTL, or VIPARANGE BIND) and the constructed device or link name name is already defined on this TCP/IP. If name starts with VIPD, then the attempt was to create a DEVICE. If the name starts with VIPL, then a LINK name was being built. In either case, activation of dynamic VIPA IPaddr failed. NOTE: If name starts with VIPD, then both VIPDxxxxxx and VIPLxxxxxx (where 'xxxxxx' is the hexadecimal representation of IPaddr) must not already be defined. If the check for VIPDxxxxxxxx finds it already defined, no additional check is made for VIPLxxxxxxxx at that time.

ip_addr is the IP address of the dynamic VIPA.

name is the generated device or link name for the dynamic VIPA.
