Problem
Following exception logged in stopServer.log

[05/07/14 16:47:04:732 JST] 6f741113 SOAPConnector < reconnect
[SOAPException: faultCode=SOAP-ENV:
Client; msg=Error opening socket: java.net.UnknownHostException:
myhost01; targetException=java.lang.IllegalArgumentException:
Error opening socket: java.net.UnknownHostException: myhost01]
at org.apache.soap.transport.http.SOAPHTTPConnection.send
at org.apache.soap.rpc.Call.invoke(Unknown Source)
 
Cause
The etc/hosts file had following entry (127.0.0.1 myhost01.ibm.com localhost.localdomain localhost).
  1. host alias myhost01 is not defined in the etc/hosts file
  2. The host name of the WAS server was registered by wrong IP
 
Solution
Add host alias in the etc/hosts file, example 127.0.0.1 myhost01.ibm.com myhost01 localhost.localdomain localhost
Make sure ipaddress returned for the hostname is the ipaddress registered in the domain name server
