APAR status
Closed as program error.
Error description
When the node agents and DM communicate it seems the
nodeagents initially makes a request to the DM and at some
point in time, the DM flows back with IP and port.
The problem is the IP the DM flows back seems to be whatever
the non fully qualified hostname resolves to on the DM. This
IP may not always be accessable to the node agent due to the
DM having multiple network interfaces. The
DM needs to flow back only a hostname so it can resolve
correctly based on the node agent's setup.
Local fix Problem summary
****************************************************************
* USERS AFFECTED: All WebSphere Application Server users using *
* a firewall. *
****************************************************************
* PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: Nodes flow back IP addresses instead *
* of hostnames which impedes operation *
* across firewalls *
****************************************************************
* RECOMMENDATION: *
****************************************************************
Although user specified a hostname at WebSphere installation,
an internal component of system management turns all hostnames
to IP addresses and uses them for process discovery.
Externally the user sees IP addresses flowing across firewalls
and it causes discovery to fail.
Problem conclusion
The internal component is changed so it no longer converts
hostnames to IP addresses.
