HP Systems Insight Manager - Manual (Page 175)

Installation
HP-UX install/execution of partner plug-ins (for example, HP Insight Dynamics - VSE for Integrity)
might fail due to failed communication with HP SIM. Reviewing the install logs, daemon service
logs and command line command output of partner commands may show long execution time with
failed results describing a failure to connect to HP SIM or the message
java.net.NoRouteToHostException: No route to host (errno:242)
. Local partner
communication to HP SIM occurs using the ‘localhost’ hostname. This should be set to the loopback
IP address (usually 127.0.0.1). This is normally defined in the /etc/hosts file on the CMS.
However, by default HP-UX systems will resolve hostnames through DNS before looking at this file.
If nslookup localhost does NOT resolve to the loopback IP address, then you must change
the lookup configuration. HP-UX or Linux systems use /etc/nsswitch.conf to resolve hostnames,
and having dns resolve before files (/etc/hosts) will give the wrong IP Address for localhost.
The default for HP-UX is set as:
hosts: dns [NOTFOUND=return] nis [NOTFOUND=return] files
To resolve this issue, change the configuration to:
hosts: files dns [NOTFOUND=return] nis NOTFOUND=return] files
Also, be sure the /etc/hosts file contains the loopback entry: 127.0.0.1 localhost
loopback

and clear them if they become too large.
