![]() APAR status Closed as program error. Error description When you install the ND or BASE to a machine with multiple NIC cards and you do not choose to use the primary NIC card the discover process with the nodeagent and deployment manager fails. This is because the getLocalHost (Java command used by WebSphere) returns the primary NIC address which WebSphere is not listening to, hence discover fails.Local fix Problem summary **************************************************************** * USERS AFFECTED: For WebSphere Application Server 5.0 ND or * * BASE users * **************************************************************** * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: When having ND or BASE installed on a * * machine with multiple NIC cards and * * you are not using the primary NIC, * * the discovery fails. * **************************************************************** * RECOMMENDATION: * **************************************************************** When you install the ND or BASE to a machine with multiple NIC cards and you do not choose to use the primary NIC card, the discover process with the nodeagent and deployment manager fails.Problem conclusion The discover process with the nodeagent and deployment manager is failing because the Discovery service uses InetAddress.getLocalHost to determine the local address which could be incorrect on machines with multiple network adapters. Modified the DiscoveryAdapter.java to obtain hostname from an endpoint instead of invoking InetAddress.getLocalHost().getHostName().Temporary fix Comments
