Lindy I recalled there had been a recent discussion regarding the desirability or otherwise of using more that one instance of the IP component of z/OS Communications Server supported by the same z/OS (in one LPAR obviously).
Then I checked - and, in terms of "list-craft", it's a bit of a mess! First one Lindy Mayfield initiated a thread on September 19th with a Subject line misspelling as "Multile TCP/IP Stacks". Some handy answers were already supplied in this thread. Dave Gibney offered a contribution on September 20th with a corrected Subject line and there were some further responses to this thread in the following month. Unless, magically, some expertise joined the list in the intervening 2 months, you cannot really expect to receive any further wisdom on the topic - on IBM-MAIN. What you could do/have done - as you were advised before but, for some reason, did not follow up - was post your query on the IBMTCP-L list: For IBMTCP-L subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@vm.marist.edu with the message: INFO IBMTCP-L Chris Mason On Tue, 20 Dec 2011 19:33:53 +0000, Lindy Mayfield <lindy.mayfi...@sas.com> wrote: >Now, as I have asked a few times yet I don't quite "get " it, why do you need >multiple stacks? > >Ok, I have my own personal mainframe, what can I accomplish with multiple >tcp/ip stacks, and to have the, what is it called, something affinity?, in any > case, there is a default and another choice. > >You guys have explained it to me, but I didn't get.
