BBON0156E at SMUEI client with DVIPA and NO SRVIPADDR
 Technote (FAQ)
 
Problem
BBON0156E at SMUEI client with DVIPA and NO SRVIPADDR
 
Cause
BBON0156E Unable to connect to naming server

We ran our production bootstrap using a Resolve IP Name that is
associated with an IP address of a DVIPA we have configured. The only
way we can successfully log into the SMUEI with this IP name (or
address) is if we specify the SRVIPADDR .env variable in our WebSphere server
config files. Once we take the SRVIPADDR variable out, we get the
BBON0156E error above. So we put the SRVIPADDR env variable back in
and can then log into the SMUEI if the WebSphere servers are running on our
SYTH lpar (same lpar that owns the DVIPA). However, if we shut down our
WebSphere servers on SYTH (leaving only the WebSphere servers avail on SYTD) We
loose our ability to log into the SMEUI.

The customer has an environment with a production WebSphere node which
consists of 2 LPARs (SYTD and SYTH) working using DVIPAs and the
Sysplex Distributor. The WebSphere server issues a gethost* call
that results in the "primary interface" IP address being returned by
the IP stack. This primary interface is not the same IP address as
the bootstrap IP name. Therefore they could not connect with the
SMEUI.

 
Solution
The user put SYTHOSA1 (primary interface IP address) to the local host file on the workstation running the SMUEI and that resolved the problem. This was the
address being returned.
