Error description

• If the HTEMS host name is a subset of the RTEMS host name or
  vice versa, installing or upgrading the RTEMS results in an
  exception plus error messages as follows:
  
     The following TEMS are installed in /opt/IBM/ITM:
       REMOTE_itmmona1
     ... creating config file
     "/opt/IBM/ITM/config/itmmona1_ms_REMOTE_itmmona1.config"
     ... creating file
     "/opt/IBM/ITM/tables/REMOTE_itmmona1/glb_site.txt."
  
  
    CMSConfig.configureCMS:  Exceptions.ITMException
     There is recognized incorrect value for Remote TEMS
     configuration.
     ip.pipe:itmmona
     It must not be local host name or IP address.
     It should be host name or IP address of Hub TEMS.
     Check the documentation for more details.
  
  
  RECREATE INSTRUCTIONS:
  
  1. Install and configure an HTEMS on system "abc".

     system "abcd".
  

Local fix

Problem summary

• Configuration errors occur when the HUB management server host
  name is a subset of the remote management server host name.
  
  If the HUB management server host name is a subset of the remote
  management server host name, attempts to configure the RTEMS
  fail. For example, the problem occurs if the HUB management
  server host name is "myhost" and the remote management server
  host name is "myhost_remote".  The resulting error messages look
  like this:
  
     There is recognized incorrect value for Remote TEMS
  configuration.
     ip.pipe:<hostname>
     It must not be local host name or IP address.
     It should be host name or IP address of Hub TEMS.
     Check the documentation for more details.
  

Problem conclusion

• The code was changed to properly compare host names when
  performing validation.
