Description

Error Message

None. 

Cause

This has been identified as a product limitation.

Resolution

A permanent fix has not yet been identified but will be included in a future release.

A workaround is to resolve the hostname via the /etc/hosts file and not the /etc/resolv.conf file.

Issue/Introduction

This has only been reported with Infoscale 7.4.1 on AIX at time of writing. Full discovery has not been completed but it is reasonable to believe this effects all Infoscale releases. It also only appears to occur when using name resolution with a resolv.conf.
