Hi all, I have a question about routing FTP traffic. First a bit about the environment. Z14-zr1 with (2) 1-GbE OSA adapters shared across 3 LPARs. The 2 adapters are not in a VIPA configuration. Right now on this LPAR, only 1 of the adapters is defined to TCP/IP. I can easily get the second OSA configured into TCP/IP on the LPAR so that's not an issue.
The situation/question. I have 3 jobs that run on the mainframe that all 3 initiate an FTP process to Windows servers. Between the 3 jobs they are pushing between 1.5 and 2 terabytes to the servers. The jobs are currently single threaded and from looking at the FTP output, they are pushing the Ethernet adapter that is in use at 100%. My question is this: If I configure the second adapter, is there a way that I can force one of these jobs to use one of the OSA adapters and the other 2 to go to the second adapter? From what I recall, z/OS doesn't do any kind of trunking or load balancing so setting up a VIPA won't improve throughput by using both adapters. I've meandered through the IP configuration reference and see nothing that would give me this capability.
