Define the Loopback Address

Make sure that the /etc/hosts file exists and contains the loopback address 127.0.0.1 with only the name localhost in both fully qualified and unqualified forms. For example:

127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost

Do not use the loopback address 127.0.0.1 or the name localhost in a node definition.

Do not assign the cluster node hostname to 127.0.0.1.
