Protect a SVIPA in one LPAR from being overridden with a DVIPA with same IP address in another LPAR on a shared OSA

A static VIPA (SVIPA) is defined in LPAR1 and a VIPARANGE of DVIPAs is defined in LPAR2 that overlaps the SVIPA. Customer inadvertently specified SVIPA as the source IP address for a FTP batch job on LPAR2 and the following actions were taken: 1) DVIPA created on LPAR2, 2) TCPIP issues SETIP command for the DVIPA to the shared OSA with the override flag ON, 3) the OSA replaced the SVIPA entry with the DVIPA one. The result is connectivity loss to the SVIPA from the network and the TCPIP stack in LPAR1 has to be recycled to restore operations.

    This RFE is being closed as a duplicate of "OSA hangs when SVIPA and DVIPA range overlap and FTPS job is run". http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/rfe/execute?use_case=viewChangeRequest&CR_ID=101991
