Make sure Deployment Manager is running and the SOAP port is correct. By default, the installer uses port 8879 to connect wsadmin to the Deployment Manager. This port may vary in some environments.
If your environment uses a different SOAP port, the installer will fail with the following error:
WASX7023E: Error creating "SOAP" connection to host "HOST"; exception information: com.ibm.websphere.management.exception.ConnectorNotAvailableException: [SOAPException: faultCode=SOAP-ENV:Client; msg=Unable to find a valid IP for host localhost]

Verify your SOAP port: Open the
wsadmin.properties

If the port number is different from 8879, update the installer script:
