CHKW2516E: CELL_DISCOVERY_ADDRESS
 Technote (troubleshooting)
 
Problem(Abstract)
Why do I receive a CHKW2516E: CELL_DISCOVERY_ADDRESS error in the "WebSphere Configuration Problems" window?
 
Cause
Here is an example of the error you are seeing in the "WebSphere Configuration Problems" window:

Scope:  cells/<cell name>/nodes/<node name>/serverindex.xml

If the "Scope" indicates that the Base install serverindex.xml file does not have this parameter. What is happening is that the Network Deployment administrative console checks all the serverindex.xml files and does not care if this is, or is not, a Network Deployment serverindex.xml file. It only checks that parameter for speed purposes. Also, the error is an IBM WebSphere Application Server check error meaning that something failed a check, similar to WebSphere Application Server V4.0, and the duplicateKeyCheck errors occurs when starting.
 
Resolving the problem
The CELL_DISCOVERY_ADDRESS, as defined by the WebSphere Application Server V5.1 Information Center, is an attribute of the deploymentManager object that exists inside the server. It is the port used to receive the incoming process discovery messages inside a deployment manager process.

So only the Deployment Manager serverindex.xml file needs this flag. What you need to look at is the "Scope" for this "Configuration Problem". The <node name> will determine if the problem is with the Network Deployment Manager or one of the Base install nodes.

If the "Scope" indicates problems with the Network Deployment Manager, check the serverindex.xml file for the following lines:

<specialEndpoints xmi:id="NamedEndPoint_1" endPointName="CELL_DISCOVERY_ADDRESS">
<endPoint xmi:id="EndPoint_1" host="Host name" port="####"/>
</specialEndpoints>
