Hacmp/ attempting to sync cluster getting a netmask error

Env: Model H50/J30, AIX 4.2.1

Problem: Getting error when Sync Cluster Topology.

Action Taken: Sync Cluster Topology, get error:
         Node nodename1 does not have a loopback entry in /etc/host
         Node nodename2 does not have a loopback entry in /etc/host
         then get:
         Netmask on en0 on nodename1 does not match the netmask 
         on en0 on nodename2.
         Netmask on en1 on nodename1 does not match the netmask 
         on en1 on nodename2.
         netmask is 255.255.255.0 everywhere
         I checked xmenu and find 2ea items with similar errors:
         FL2439 and FG5338
         These pointed to a problem with HACMP 4.2.2 that was 
         resolved with a software update.
         I will send the latest HACMP updates to him express overnite
         He will install them and see if that resolves his problem.

Actino Taken: Check /etc/hosts

        No errors evident.  Check HA fileset levels:
        cluster.base.server.rte - 4.2.2.2 & 4.2.2.1  ????
        Fixes not correctly sent/applied.

        Will order the following:

        IX75705 IX75702 IX75099 IX74856 IX71161 IX74750

        lppchk -v  --> nothing

        ifconfig en\# on all netmask=0xffffff00

        /usr/sbin/cluster/utilities/cldare -vrt  -> O.K.

        Retry syncing through smit again.

        boot adapter on node TEST on network 0S not on proper subnet
                
        On node TEST:
        smitty tcpip - further configuration - network 
        interfaces - network interface selection - change/show 
        characteristics of a network interface

        Is subnet correct?  NO  Change the value and hit enter.

        Verify all othr interfaces with the same procedure.
          All others seem O.K.

        Resyncronize.  -----> O.K.
*ACTION PLAN:   CWCA
