Is there a VIPA concept with Linux and, if so, how do I
set it up?
Yes there is. There are two parts to it. One is all packets leaving
your Linux must have the VIPA IP address as a source. The other is
that all packets going to your Linux must be sent to your VIPA.
When we implemented zVM, we eliminated this set up but used it for 2 years.
For the VIPA implementation we wrote a perl program to make sure
everything was done automatically during the INIT process.
I am sure we have it somewhere if it is needed.

For VIPA setup you need to do the following:
Load the module dummy (# modprobe dummy)
then define a dummy0 interface with a IP address and netmask and bring
up the interface using ifconfig. After defining the interface add the
dummy ip address to the ethernet interface at
/sys/class/net/eth<n>/device/vipa/add4 or you can use qethconf to add
the dummy address to the ethernet interface. This should do.
