Local fix
Problem summary
NetworkInterface.isUp() call fails on AIX when VIPA(Virtual IP Address) is enabled
Problem conclusion
The logic check in the NetworkInterface.c is modified to correctly handle the VIPA scenario considering the facts: 1. IOCTL system call returns -1 in case of error/failure. 2. In case of AIX VIPA the ifr_flgs may have negative values like -2080374719. . This APAR will be fixed in the following Java Releases: 8 SR7 (8.0.7.0) . Contact your IBM Product's Service Team for these Service Refreshes and Fix Packs.
