[AG-TECH] Invalid host info error

[Rabarison Monika Klara]

Rohn,

I am not sure if this will help. I am used to start the node
in the following order:
1)on display machine:
	-run event server
	-run display manager
2)on video machine:
	-start vrm
3)on audio machine:
	-start arm
4) then go back to display machine to connect to venues.
