You can specify to allow an active takeover IP address when you create an application CRG. This is only allowed if the user configures the takeover IP address.
Previously you could create an application CRG with an active takeover IP address provided it was configured by the user. But the application CRG could not be started if the takeover IP address was already active. Now, you can specify to allow an active takeover IP address when you create the application CRG. When you start an application CRG that allows for an active takeover IP addresses, the CRG will be allowed to start.
To allow for an active takeover IP address when you create an application CRG, complete the following steps:
CRTCRG CLUSTER(MYCLUSTER) CRG(MYCRG) CRGTYPE(*APP) EXITPGM(QDEVELOP/EXITPGM)
USRPRF(USER) RCYDMN((NODE1 *PRIMARY)(NODE2 *BACKUP)) TKVINTNETA('10.1.2.1') CFGINTNETA(*USR *YES)
The TKVINTNETA parameter identifies the takeover IP address to be used, and the CFGINTNETA parameter identifies that the user will configure the takeover IP address and that this address can be active at Start CRG time.
After you have created the application CRG to allow an active takeover IP address, you can start the CRG.
