Help for DVIPA Sysplex Distributors

This help page explains the display of the DVIPA and Sysplex Distributor information such as which TCP/IP stack is the distributor for the DVIPA and the number of targets and listeners that are available for each DVIPA.

DVIPA IP Address:Port

Displays the DVIPA TCP/IP address, (:), and the DVIPA distributed port. Select a particular DVIPA IP address and port to access the DVIPA Distributed Targets page. The Distributed Targets page will display the Number of Servers and their job names, number of connections being distributed to the target or targets, and the WLM weight associated with the target system.

Distributor System Name

Displays the actual hostname of the TCP/IP stack that the DVIPA connection request will be distributed by. This field is set from either the TCP390 policy definitions or a socket GETHOSTBYADDR call.

Distributor Job Name

Displays the TCP/IP procedure name that started the TCP/IP stack that the DVIPA connection request will be distributed by.

Number of Targets

The number of target TCP/IP stacks that are available to service connection requests.

Number of Listening Servers

Displays the number of server applications that are listening for connection requests over this DVIPA IP address and port.

Note: If the Number of Listeners is greater than the Number of Targets, then DVIPA port is defined for port sharing where multiple applications can share the same physical port.
