The input parameters for the utility are:
- -p <tcpipname>
- Specifies the TCP/IP which is to create or delete a DVIPA.
- -c <IPaddress>
- Specifies that the IP address is to be created.
- -a <IPaddress>
- Specifies that the IP address is to be created with affinity.
A connection request for a DVIPA that is created with affinity is
sent to a TCP Listener if the application instance that created the
DVIPA issues the bind() call. If no matching listener is found, a
TCP Listener is selected by using normal shareport load balancing.
- -d <IPaddress>
- Specifies that the IP address is to be deleted.
Notes: - The input parameters -p, -c, -a, and -d must
be entered in lowercase.
- <tcpipname> must be entered in uppercase.
- For IPv4 addresses, <IPaddress> is dotted
decimal notation. For IPv6 addresses, <IPaddress>
is standard colon-hexadecimal notation for specifying IPv6 addresses.
- To create a DVIPA, the specified IP address must be within a subnet
that is previously specified by a VIPARANGE configuration statement
in the PROFILE.TCPIP data set for the specified TCP/IP.
