Resolving the problem
dmgr – server.xml shows that client is using port 9092
<transports xmi:type="applicationserver.webcontainer:HTTPTransport" xmi:id="HTTPTransport_1" sslEnabled="false">
<address xmi:id="EndPoint_1" host="" port="9092" />
</transports>

and virtualhost.xml show that admin_host is still using default definition.

<aliases xmi:id="HostAlias_4" hostname="*" port="9090"/>
<aliases xmi:id="HostAlias_5" hostname="*" port="9043"/>

SystemOut.log from dmgr showing that virtualhost is not been defined and we even tested that client could not open the administrative console.

[5/9/05 15:09:52:518 PDT] 2bcc3961 OSEListenerDi E PLGN0021E: Servlet Request Processor Exception: Virtual Host/WebGroup Not Found : The host testhost.ibm.com on port 9092 has not been defined.

This shows that the file download URL is not correct and there no web group to serve that request.

Client must correct the port definition on virtualhost.xml and restart the dmgr. Once deployment manager is up and running, addNode should be able federated without 404 error.
