APAR status
Closed as program error.

Error description
In a Sysplex, if you try to connect the SM/EUI to a system other
than the 'Bootstrap' system, with WebSphere NOT active on the
bootstrap system, the SM/EUI will not connect.
SM Tracing shows that from port 900, the returned IOR has a
resolved host name, (which is the bootstrapped system name), and
NOT the generic daemon ip name that was specified on the
DAEMON_IPNAME= parameter used during Bootstrap.
Local fix
Bring up WebSphere (Daemon, Naming, IR, SysMgmt) on the
BootStrap System.

*                      WebSphere Application Server is not     *
*                      active on the system in a sysplex where *

****************************************************************
During bootstrap, object references (IORs) are saved away in
the configuration.  These IORs contain the hostname of the
daemon defined by the DAEMON_IP_NAME environment variable.
Under some network configurations, the WebSphere Application
Server runtime may change the hostname used from a generic
hostname, which refers to a whole sysplex, to a name which
indicates a specific system in the sysplex.  This results in
IORs which reference an individual system being saved away in
the configuration.  When the SM EUI tries to connect, the
Systems Management instance it initially contacts as part of
resolve_initial_references processing returns such an IOR.  If
the system to which this IOR points (the initial bootstrap
system) is not available, the connection fails.  The IORs
saved in the configuration should not have a specific system's
hostname in them, but should use the original generic hostname.
Problem conclusion
Support has been modified such that only a generic hostname will
be contained in the IORs being saved away in the configuration.
