SAP TMKSVR error

Question

Hi all,
I will be installing SAP Solution Manager 7 to V5R4 iSeries server but upon installation of TMKSVR, it's giving an error  in phase CHECKING INSTANCE
"An error ocured during installation (send TMKMessage:" could not send message, no connection available.)"
I already copied all the MASTER, KERNEL, LANGUAGE, and JAVA cd's in the server. I also updated to the latest ISERPACK8 for Solution Manager/iSeries V5R4 version. Tried run the installation in Windows XP and Windows Vista but the same error occurred.
Hope you can help me resolve the error.
Thanks,
John

Hi:
on iseries you should check the following:
execute:  CFGTCP
Then option 10 -->  in hosts table check if you have:
::1                               IPV6-LOOPBACK     
                                   IPV6-LOCALHOST    
127.0.0.1                         LOOPBACK          
                                        LOCALHOST         
xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx            <servername>  ex: server01
                                        <servername.domain.com> ex: server01.mycompany.com
xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx            <server_windows> ex: windosxp
After that option 12 -->
Name of the principal system --> <servername>  ex: server01
Name of the domain --->  <domain.com> ex: mycompany.com
Please, be very carefull and extrict this Uppercase o Lowecase
After that in the Windows PC --> edit hosts file and put the same information.
i think that is all....
Bye
