Selecting a Host IP Address on Systems with Multiple IP
Addresses
During installations where multiple IP addresses exist on a host (i.e. multiple
LAN cards in a single host), only one of the IP address will be entered into the
/ etc/opt/sanmgr/hostagent/config/commIpAddr.txt file. If this is not the
correct address, the hostagent will not communicate with the array.
