This host can connect to only other hosts that use dynamic routing. Hosts that rely on static gateway routing cannot connect to the z/VM host. From tracing the problem with a statically-routed remote host, it was found that host issued an ARP broadcast for the z/VM VIPA address, but the z/VM would not respond. A "MORETRACE ARP" trace showed the request ARP failed with this trace message: DTCARP026I ARPIN: Unknown or invalid hardware address LOCAL FIX: PROBLEM SUMMARY: **************************************************************** * USERS AFFECTED: Users with STATIC gateways to z/VM VIPA * * devices. * **************************************************************** * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: Users with STATIC gateway statements * * to z/VM VIPA addresses are unable to * * connect to the VIPA addresses. * **************************************************************** * RECOMMENDATION: APPLY PTF * **************************************************************** When z/VM TCP/IP receives an ARP query for a VIPA address, it does not respond. So connections to z/VM VIPA addresses do not work. PROBLEM CONCLUSION: TCP/IP was changed to respond to ARP queries for VIPA addresses.
