IBM Tivoli Monitoring, Version 6.3 Fix Pack 2
Host name for TCP/IP network services
TCP/IP network services such as NIS, DNS, and the /etc/hosts file must be configured to return the fully qualified host name (for example: HostName.ibm.com). Define the fully qualified host name after the dotted decimal host address value and before the short host name in the /etc/hosts.
On a machine that will be running the Tivoli Enterprise Portal Server, verify that the /etc/hosts file has only one line containing the short name of the host machine. Having multiple entries (that is different network cards) resolving to the same short name of the machine can result in the Tivoli Enterprise Portal Server generating an error when either starting, reconfiguring, or running the buildPresentation, InstallPresentation.sh, or migrate-export scripts.
