* The log from each agent produces the following error messages "could not open IPM connection to vcs on localhost"

Issue/Introduction

Agents do not start on the VCS cluster node with errors as explained below. Either of the following two reasons contribute to this problem:

   * Port 14141 (the port which VCS uses) is being used by other processes
   * The loopback route 127.0.0.1 has not been setup correctly or does not exist
