Table IPHOST

Table IPHOST assigns the IP addresses to SuperNode end hosts. SuperNode end hosts can have one or two addresses, depending on the entry in field

NODENAME.

Table IPHOST activates the TCP layer and its applications on those nodes.

Note: If the TCPCONN field in table IPHOST is set to 0, communication in related applications stops.

Table IPHOST also supports application processor (AP) and file processor (FP) datafill for both Support Operating System (SOS) nodes and for SOS SuperNode UNIX (SNIX) nodes for which two IP addresses are needed.
