Scanning for occupied IPs

You can run a scan for the occupied IPs of existing connections in the z/VM. This action updates the list of IP addresses that are already being used by managed systems known to the IBM Director server.

This will prevent you from using an occupied IP when cloning a new Linux guest system or reconfiguring an existing Linux guest system according to the properties of a server complex network.

Complete the following steps to scan for occupied IPs:
  1. If it is not started already, start the Server Complexes task for the z/VM system you want to work with.
  2. Click Actionz/VM Networking Properties to open the z/VM Networking Properties window.
  3. In the z/VM Networking Properties window, click ActionScan for Occupied IPs.
This scans the Linux guest systems for used IPs and updates the occupied IP list for each connection with the specified properties.
