Known Issues

Issue: When a cluster domain is set up on a multihomed machine, and the name of the machine, rather than the machine's IP address, is used for the Administration Server, the managed servers do not start.

Workaround: While setting up the cluster domain, specify the machine's IP address, rather than its name, as the administration server.
