IBM Spectrum Data Manager for LSF 10.1 Fix 540164 Readme

Abstract
P103410. Fix to resolve an issue that occurs if the intended host for the dmd daemon to run has a system name that differs from its official host name. If the host is configured in this way, the dmd daemon fails to start.

Description
Readme documentation for IBM Platform Data Manager for LSF 10.1 Fix 540164 including installation-related instructions, prerequisites and co-requisites, and list of fixes.

This fix addresses the following issue:

This problem occurs when the data manager host has a system name that differs from its official name. For example, LSF Data Manager is configured to use hostA (LSF_DATA_HOSTS=hostA), but the system name is hostA-alias (when running the hostname command). When the dmd daemon attempts to start up it does not recognize that hostA and hostA-alias refers to the same host. The dmd daemon interprets this as being started up on a non-configured host (that is, not mentioned in LSF_DATA_HOSTS) and exits.
