Distributed DVIPA Connection Routing Attributes

Use these attributes to view information about distributed DVIPA connection routing.

Configured Timed Affinity The affinity value that is defined in the TIMEDAFFINITY parameter on the VIPADISTRIBUTE TCP/IP profile statement. The TIMEDAFFINITY parameter indicates to the sysplex distributor that connections to a particular distributed DVIPA from the same client, as identified by the IP address, need to be routed to the same server instance, even when multiple server instances are on a single target stack.

Destination IP Address The destination IP address for this connection.

Destination Port The destination port for this connection.

Destination XCF IP Address The dynamic XCF IP address of the stack that is processing this connection.

Established Connections The number of currently established connections associated with the Configured Time Affinity attribute.

Gateway IP Address The gateway that is used to send packets to the target stack. If the value is equal to 0.0.0.0 for an IPv4 entry or :: for an IPv6 entry, the destination can be reached without going through a gateway.

Interface Name The name of the interface for the route being used to distribute packets to the target stack.

Origin Node The parent node of the workspace.

Source IP Address The source IP address for this connection.

Source IP Address Source Port For NetView product internal use. This attribute is the concatenation of the Source IP Address and Source Port attribute values, which is used to depict the x-axis in the bar chart view. The format of the concatenated values is ip:port, where ip is the Source IP Address value and port is the Source Port value.

Source Port The source port for this connection.

System ID The SMF system ID.

Timed Affinity Time Left The number of seconds left before the affinity between the client IP address and the dynamic VIPA destination IP address and port is removed. After the last established connection is closed, the affinity remains for the number of seconds that is indicated in the Configuration Timed Affinity attribute.

Update Time The date and time that the data was last updated.

VIPA Route Flag An indication of whether the VIPAROUTE parameter is being used to route packets to the target stack for this connection. The value is a 1-byte hexadecimal number where bit 0 is the leftmost bit and the bits have the following values:
