Error, some other host already uses address xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx

The following error message might be triggered in certain instances: 

Error, some other host already uses address  xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx

The following are the two instances in which this error message might be triggered:

  • When active-bonding is enabled, and you run the ifup ib-interface command.

  • When you run the service rdma start command.

You can ignore this message, as in both cases, the InfiniBand interface is brought up successfully. (Bug IDs 21052903, 26639723)
