Could it be a name resolution or IPV6 problem? The code binding the shutdown socket does: String hostAddress = InetAddress.getByName("localhost").getHostAddress(); Socket socket = new Socket(hostAddress, server.getPort()); So check, what "localhost" resolves to on the AIX system. Check whether it is in /etc/hosts or some other host name repository and check your AIX config, which ones are queried in which order. To eliminate the port, you could switch from 8005 in server.xml to some exotic port number, e.g. 13749. From your observatiuons I expect you to get the same error and then we know it is not the port number itself.
