When creating a new database, if you specify a remote Linux host as the IQ Agent host server, the Create Database Server wizard fails with an error like the following:
Unable to connect to the IQ Agent on host "<hostname>"
An error referencing host 127.0.0.1 may also appear in the server log.
To prevent the problem:
On the Linux machine, use the ypmatch command to locate its IP address. For example, for system maynardqa:
%ypmatch maynardqa hosts
10.47.81.70 maynardqa
Edit the /etc/hosts file on the Linux machine and replace the IP address of 127.0.0.1 with the true IP address of the Linux host.
