Thanks. In originally looking at DVIPA I got the impression I still needed the Sysplex WLM to pass the IP to the correct TCP stack for processing. But I guess I don't for just doing an application failure. I think this will be acceptable to the user. Thanks

DVIPA provides an alternate connection to the application in the event of failure. Sysplex Distributor is more of a load balancing function. Both combined should cover almost any scenario. SysDist may be overkill for your needs.

Unless you trust the sender, Don’t click links or open attachments as it may be a Phishing email, which can steal your Information and compromise your Computer.] I cross posted the following to the TCP/IP group, but got no response. Thought I would try here to see if I get any answers. Thanks: I am trying to avoid setting up TCP/IP Sysplex Distributor to accomplish a certain task. But if it is the only way possible then I will do it. I have a CPU that has 4 LPAR's defined. This user wants to run a the same server application on each LPAR. But he wants the users to use one IP address and it will always get one of the server applications. Also if one LPAR is down he wants to make sure the other server will receive the request. So is there another way to accomplish this without using TCP/IP Sysplex Distributer?
