We have today, a connection to TCPIP by each of two OSAs, each with a separate IP address. We also have a virtual switch, also connected to the two OSAs, and two Vswitch controllers. The Vswitch connections failover great. But using the TCPIP stack, you loose your connection, then have to manually reconnect using the other IP address. The TCPIP stack also has a VCTC connection to an old VSE machine, therefore also has the proxyarp option. I thought, apparently wrongly, that I could just hook TCPIP to the Vswitch via a different home address. But that doesn't work as it tries to register both old TCPIP addresses both via the OSA connection and also via the Vswitch (tied to the same OSAs). Needless to say, not much worked... Would the best choice be to drop the two direct OSA connections and only connect via the Vswitch? Or???
