Question

What is Dynamic VIPA Takeover?

Answer

Dynamic VIPA Takeover enables Dynamic VIPAs to be moved without human intervention or programmed automation to allow new connections to a server at the same IP address as soon as possible. This can reduce downtime significantly. With Dynamic VIPA Takeover you can configure one or more TCP/IP stacks to be backups (VIPABACKUP statement) for a particular Dynamic VIPA. If the stack or MVS image where the Dynamic VIPA is active is terminated, one of the backup stacks automatically activates that Dynamic VIPA. The existing connections will be terminated but can be quickly reestablished on the stack that is taking over.
