When starting on a host running Solaris 8 with several NIC cards installed, if there is a mixture of cards with IPv6 and IPv4 enabled, the management agent may terminate with the exception "IPV6_MULTICAST_IF failed."
Set the environment variable JAVA_OPTIONS to -Djava.net.preferIPv4Stack=true; for example:
export JAVA_OPTIONS="-Djava.net.preferIPv4Stack=true" |
Alternatively, use Solaris 9 or later, which do not exhibit this problem.
