Verifying that the sysplex distributor policy functions are working correctly

To verify that the distributor is using the expected service levels when deciding how to distribute traffic to each DVIPA/Port target, use the Netstat VDPT/-O DETAIL command on the distributing stack. The following QoS related information will be displayed for each DVIPA/Port target:

• WLM weight unmodified by QoS
• Modified WLM/QoS aggregate weight, identified by *DEFAULT*
• Modified WLM/QoS service level weights, identified by service level name

To verify that active connections distributed to DVIPA/Port targets are using the expected service level, use the Netstat VCRT DETAIL command on the distributing stack. This will display the following policy related information:

• PolicyRule: the policy rule that the distributor used in selecting the policy action for this connection.
• PolicyAction: the policy action that this connection is currently using. If PolicyAction is specified by *NONE*, then the distributor is using the *DEFAULT* fraction to distribute this connection.
