摘要:
Methods, systems and computer program products are provided for transferring a Virtual IP Address (VIPA) from a first application instance to a second application instance executing on a cluster of data processing systems having a plurality of communication protocol stacks. A list of dynamic VIPAs is distributed among the protocol stacks and a hierarchy of backup communication protocol stacks for the dynamic VIPAs is determined based on the list of dynamic VIPAs. Upon receiving notification of failure of the first stack the second stack evaluates the hierarchy of backup stacks to determine if it is the next stack in the hierarchy for the VIPA associated with the first application instance. If so, then the VIPA associated with the first application instance is transferred to the second communication protocol stack associated with the second application instance.
