Pat I also had a look at this when it appeared. If you search in CS IP System Administrators Commands for QOSPLCACT - as the most obscure keyword in the message set - in order to pin down the command, NETSTAT VDPT, and then hunt for the interpretation of "I" in this specific context, you will find "I" means "Indicates that the data path to the target stack is inactive."
I guess what you have in mind - and I assumed until I checked - is the "I" as it appears in the output of NETSTAT HOME with the explanation: <quote> An internally generated dynamic VIPA that is not advertised to routing daemons. This will be displayed for dynamic VIPAs created on target stacks for sysplex distributor or on stacks that are the endpoint for connections where the dynamic VIPA has moved to another stack </quote> As for correcting the OP's original problem here, I would expect that it is a matter of investigating how the IP node with XCF address 10.1.48.2 has detached itself from the IP node with XCF address 10.1.48.1. I expect this will not be a VIPA problem but a straightforward problem at the IP level and possibly a problem with the sysplex which has caused the XCF connection to become broken.
