MQSeries.net :: View topic - question about sysplex distributor VIPA for MQ

lium · Posted: Mon Jul 20, 2015 5:58 am Post subject:

the customer sends MQ message to a generic port(let me say, the VIPA is ip1, port1). A sysplex distributor is listening on this.
When TCPIP SYN request is sent to sysplex distributor, it is going to pick up the MQ listener on LPAR1, I have questions on this:

1. once the connection is build up, will the TCPIP traffic is client -> sysplex distributor -> LPAR1, or it will be client -> LPAR1, that is to say, if the sysplex distributor still plays as router between client and LPAR1?

2. from customer perspective, can it detect the server side is LPAR1 or not? that is to say, from customer perspective, it is still ip1, port 1, or it is already ip of the LPAR1

Thanks
