Error description
Customer discovered that if he enabled and started the Remote Registry service as described in the SCO 2.3 documentation the problem seems to be resolved for 2 VM he provisioned. . SCO 2.3 documentation: . http://www-01.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/api/content/ SS4KMC_2.3.0/com.ibm.sco.doc_2.3/scenarios/c_prereq_kvm_vm ware_images_win.html . Since the complete section in 2.3 IC, describing special configurations for the Windows versions is still valid and needed, we can live with the reference to 2.3 IC, but at least it would be required to change wording of the heading.
Local fix
Use 2.3 doc link from Description
