HPE NonStop ConnectDirect netmap has limit of 3 IP addresses

HPE NonStop ConnectDirect netmap has a limit of only 3 IP addresses. Whereas ConnectDirect on linux or windows systems have larger limit and also altcomm parameter to specify alternate IP addresses. This limits HP NonStop connecting to a unix/windows netmaps having load balancers (with more than 3) with generally 5 or 6 IP addresses.


This has caused multiple customers to not to choose ConnectDirect causing impact on company strategy regarding resiliency. Kindly update the limit to have at least 6 IP addresses to be mentioned in netmap entry on HPE NonStop.

What is your industry? Banking
How will this idea be used?

This will help us to simplify our infrastructure configuration and make most use of ConnectDirect
