    This issue affects servers that are collective members. An
    incorrect error response, "Server <servername> does not exist."
    is received on certain operation like start/stop server when
    issued from a collective controller. This occurs when a
    collective member server has been configured with
    useHostCredentials set to true in its hostAuthInfo stanza, but
    authorization credentials have not yet been set for the
    servers's host.
    

Problem conclusion

  • The code was changed to correctly report the underlying error,
    that host level authentication information was not found.
    
    The fix for this APAR is currently targeted for inclusion in fix
    pack 8.5.5.7.  Please refer to the Recommended Updates page for
    delivery information:

Temporary fix

  • To resolve the failure, disable useHostCredentials for the
    server or run the updateHost command to set valid credentials
    for the host.
