In the z/OS world I can define a Virtual IP Address (VIPA). Users connect via the VIPA and thus usually not notice individual OSA outages. Is there a similar capability with Linux? If so, where can I find additional information?
Peter,
You might consider looking into VSWITCH if you're running this on VM 4.4. It'll let you configure an OSA and let VM handle the failover.
I thought that Vic Cross's http://publib-b.boulder.ibm.com/Redbooks.nsf/RedpaperAbstracts/redp3719.html?Open was very well written.
