Glassfish Startup problem -- /etc/hosts entry
I had an opensolaris environment on which I was running GlassfishESB. Since I had to connect to a local Network I had to make some changes to the /etc/hosts file and add an entry to the same.
After that I tried to restart Glassfish it did not restart. It failed at the following point
ADM1079: Initialization of AMX MBeans started
It gave the following exception in server.log. I had to modify the hosts file to make the server start again.

Thanks Narayana for the feedback!
Can you follow up on users@glassfish.dev.java.net ? It'll be useful to mention what changes were made to /etc/hosts.

Hi Narayana,
Assuming the hostnames are correct, doublecheck for any firewall issues that may be blocking you. Try pinging each machine or telneting to the ports you need.

I had to roll back the /etc/hosts file to the original state. What I mean here is bringing it back to the state where it was while I was installing Glassfish. I thought that this might help somebody who might run into similar kind of issues.
Henceforth I will follow up such issues on users@glassfish.dev.java.net also.
I did check for the hostnames and also for the firewalls. The only thing that changed was restarting Glassfish from another network.
I guess that the JMX connector had some stickiness. I did observe the same in case of the Java CAPS repository too where in it also had the same MBean Issue. I had to resort to similar things with the network env. There I was having issue with /etc/hosts file being erased while installing punchin (http://blogs.sun.com/narayanaa/entry/java_caps_tip_on_open)
