IBM Tivoli Monitoring, Version 6.3 Fix Pack 2
Linux requirements for the localhost host name
KDH servicepoint manipulation and the kdh (http/https) port-sharing code requires the availability of localhost: the localhost host name must exist and be resolvable to an address on the local system.
Typically, localhost resolves to the loopback device with IP address 127.0.0.1. If localhost does not exist or cannot be resolved to an IP address, http-based servers (the SOAP server, the IBM Tivoli Monitoring Service Console, the Tivoli Enterprise Portal Server) will fail to initialize.
When localhost resolves to an address other than 127.0.0.1, a network interface must be locally available and configured to IP with that localhost network address.
