I think this usually means that the host 'pm2fwi' is not defined in
your Nagios configuration.  I expect you might be looking for a slight
typo in the hostname for example pm2fwl rather than pm2fwi or
somesuch.

The kind of mistake I usually make is I set up a new directory with
host and service definitions in it then forget to add a cfg_dir
directive in nagios.cfg.
