Error description

• In the case of multiple NIC cards, DB2 is smart to detect all
  the NIC cards, but if the customer does not want to use any
  NIC card, the process of skipping a NIC card is very
  unintuitive. The customer has to
  add the NIC to either a public or a private network and when
  db2haicu asks for a confirmation saying are you sure you want to
  add, that is when the customer can enter NO if they don't want
  to add that NIC.
  A better mechanism of bypassing NIC needs to be provided in
  db2haicu's interactive mode.
  

Local fix

• There are two workarounds:
  1. Use the db2haicu's XML file option, or
  2. Use the workaround mentioned in the error description section
  using db2haicu's interactive mode
