PM86845: ARYX062E--A SOCKET ERROR WHEN MULTICAST IS ENABLED

Obtain the fix for this APAR.

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• ARYX062E--A socket error occurred when multicast is enabled.
  
  To allow the agent to discover an appropriately configured
  server, the server-address parameter can be blanked out or
  removed. This causes the agent to listen for broadcast
  announcements from the server.
  Currently this can cause the agent to shut down with RC = 12 and
  the following errors:
  
  ARYX062E--A socket error occurred on "setsockopt(...,
  IP_ADD_MEMBERSHIP, ...)": EDC8109I Protocol not available.
  
  Code was modified to use the correct protocol when setting up
  multicast.
  

Local fix

• Disable multicast
