Error description
When creating a cluster with the mkcluster command or changing a cluster with the chcluster command, the commands may fail to do their intended tasks if duplicate IP addresses are detected. This could be caused by duplicate cle_ip addresses being specified on the on the command line or the cluster command resolving a node to the same IP address more than once. This can happen if there are duplicate entries in the system's /etc/hosts file. Output like the following may be seen: (0) root @ n1: / mkcluster -r hdisk10 -n test -m n1.ibm.com,n2.ibm.com ERROR: Attribute '1.2.3.4', already in use. WARNING: Force continue. mkcluster: Could not create cluster. Error 0

WARNING: Force continue. mkcluster: Could not create cluster. Error 0
Problem conclusion
Duplicates IP addresses are handled more gracefully and allow the cluster commands to continue to completion so long as every node in the cluster has at least one unique IP address.
Temporary fix
