Problems with the /etc/hosts file

This topic describes the issues relating to the /etc/hosts file that you might come across while installing or configuring IBM Storage Scale.

The /etc/hosts file must have a unique node name for each node interface to be used by GPFS. Violation of this requirement results in the message:
6027-1941
Cannot handle multiple interfaces for host hostName.

If you receive this message, correct the /etc/hosts file so that each node interface to be used by GPFS appears only once in the file.
