EZZ0829I

Explanation
 While processing a profile data
set, TCP/IP found a VIPADISTRIBUTE statement that specified more than
thirty one addresses as BACKUP addresses. Because the distribution
method is HOTSTANDBY, there must be exactly one DESTIP  address that
is PREFERRED and at least one DESTIP address that is coded as  BACKUP.
 Thirty-one is the maximum number of DESTIP addresses that may be
specified as BACKUP addresses.

System action
If processing an initial profile or
a VARY TCPIP,,OBEYFILE command, TCP/IP continues, but the VIPADISTRIBUTE
DEFINE statement is ignored.
This message is also
displayed as part of VARY TCPIP,,SYNTAXCHECK processing when the VARY
TCPIP,,SYNTAXCHECK command detects this error in a profile data set.
 No changes are applied to the active configuration by VARY TCPIP,,SYNTAXCHECK
processing.

Operator response
 Contact the system programmer.

System programmer response
 If this message was displayed
as a result of a VARY TCPIP,,SYNTAXCHECK command, correct the error
before using the profile data set as an initial profile or as a VARY
TCPIP,,OBEYFILE profile.
Otherwise, do the following
steps to correct the problem: 
Correct the statement so that there are 31 or fewer BACKUP DESTIP
addresses specified on the VIPADISTRIBUTE DESTIP statement.  
Issue the VARY TCPIP,,OBEYFILE command with the changed VIPADYNAMIC
 block.
See the information about the VIPADYNAMIC
statement in z/OS Communications Server: IP Configuration
Reference.

Automation
This message is directed to the console.
 You can use automation to detect and respond to TCP/IP profile errors
reported during initial profile and VARY TCPIP,,OBEYFILE processing.
This message can also appear during VARY TCPIP,,SYNTAXCHECK
processing. Because the VARY TCPIP,,SYNTAXCHECK command does not affect
the active configuration, you might want to adjust your automation
to ignore the configuration messages that are displayed after EZZ0061I
and before EZZ0065I.

Example
  EZZ0829I MORE THAN 31 BACKUPS WERE SPECIFIED ON THE VIPADISTRIBUTE STATEMENT WHEN DISTMETHOD IS HOTSTANDBY
