Hi Ken, I remember a lecture about TCPIP issues in a parallel sysplex which was held at zSeries Technical Conference in Salzburg some years ago. It was about distributed source VIPA and WLM. In very short words: one can set up WLM and Communication Server so that the TCPIP related address spaces may be moved off from the MVS image that is going to be IPLed. Thanks to VIPA, the TCPIP-adress is bound to the entire sysplex. As long as there is one MVS image up and running, the TCPIP services are still intact.
I am not the network guy, never tried out and even might remember falsely. But may be this is worth a look at, e.g. "http://www.ibmsystemsmag.com/mainframe/julyaugust04/tipstechniques/9918p3.aspx";. Well, I have no clue if it is still supported.

Has anyone seen a problem with distributed systems timing out when connected to a mainframe when one of the lpars is shutdown and ipled. In the 60 seconds from the "reply down" message to getting the reply typed in we had 100 timeouts show up on a system connected to the production lpar, which was not the one ipled.
