Advisors not working properly for wide area Load Balancer (AIX)
 Technote (troubleshooting)
 
Problem(Abstract)
On AIX®, the cluster addresses must be configured on the interface with a 255.255.255.255 netmask, not on the loopback as is documented.
 
Resolving the problem
When using the wide area feature of Load Balancer on AIX, Load Balancer must have each cluster configured on the interface with a 255.255.255.255 or 0xffffffff netmask; otherwise, advisors do not work properly.
The following is the format for configuring a cluster:

ifconfig interface_name alias cluster_address netmask 255.255.255.255
or
dscontrol executor configure interface_address interface_name netmask

For example,
ifconfig en0 alias 10.10.10.99 netmask 255.255.255.255
or
dscontrol executor configure 204.67.172.72 en0 255.255.255.255
