Description of problem: In some cases, the host name definition resolves to the local machine's loopback interface - 127.0.0.1. Because of that, an IP address was used as a server's bind address in the rhq-server.properties file. However, RHQ storage node, installed this way, fails to form the cluster due to rpc_address set to the hostname (which is resolved as 127.0.0.1) instead to the IP address as configured in the rhq-server.properties file Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): RHQ 4.12 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3. Actual results: RHQ storage node fails to form the cluster with another storage nodes; Expected results: RHQ storage node is installed using IP address specified in the rhq-server.properties file. Additional info: As a workaround, navigate to $JON_SERVER_HOME/rhq-storage/conf/cassandra.yaml file and change the value of the rpc_address to the IP address that is defined in the rhq-server.properties file.
