Troubleshooting
Problem
Nodeagents are configured to only use TCP(or UDP) for their discovery protocols. Howerver, on startup they are showing multicast errors in the FFDC logs trying to find their servers. While not causing an outage as the nodes do discovery successfully over TCP as well, it may cause concern to customers to see failures on startup. It is also possible that SOAP errors get generated due to the failed connection attempts too which may also be of concern to customers.
Symptom
Nodeagents will still work okay but the errors in the FFDC will persist (at startup) until the configuration is changed.
