    not map to IP label 'B'.
    ERROR: /etc/hosts on node B contains IP address 'bbb.bbb.112.204', but it does
    not map to IP label 'B'

    node B is the failover server.

    /etc/hosts is exactly the same on both servers

    IBM has sent the snap to austin but I was wondering if anyone has seen this before

    The problem was the /etc/hosts name and the name used in hacmp was not the same. In the hostname there is a "1" in the name but the person who configured hacmp used "l" instead. During an issue earlier with network access the /etc/hosts file was changed and the alias that had the correct hacmp name was deleted.
    Once the alias was added back with an "l" instead of "1" the problem was fixed
