ANR8214E Session open with xxx.xx.xxxx.xxx failed due to connection refusal

Hi all, I have a new node defined. Trying to run a scheduled backup. cant get past the above error. Initially the client OPT file had TCPPORT set to 1500. But using netstat -na | find "LISTEN" the client node did not show port 1500 listening. It wasnt there at all. 1500 was listening on the TSM server side. I did see that port 3389 was listening on both sides so I switched the OPT file TCPPORT to 3389. Stopped and started the TSM Client Acceptor but still getting the error. In DSMERROR.LOG I see the following which is probably why its still not working.

07/15/2013 09:10:57 cuIdentifyResp: Error -50 reading IdentifyResp from server.
07/15/2013 09:10:57 sessOpen: Error -50 receiving IdentifyResp verb from server
07/15/2013 09:10:57 ANS1017E Session rejected: TCP/IP connection failure
07/15/2013 09:10:57 ANS1570E Registering this instance of the Cad with the server failed. Cad process continues.


So, what do i need to do to get port 1500 listening on both sides? I'm not a server person and did not install the TSM pieces on the client node. Something not done right there maybe?

TSM version is 5.5.6.100. I am able to do a GUI manual backup.

Thanks for your help.

Hi
Tcpport option in client OPT file specifies TSM server port.
If you can run dsmc with the same OPT file without an errors try check dsmcad service configuration.
Do you use firewall between TSM Client and TSM Server?

Hi all, removing and reinstalling the TSM components on the client server did the trick. So something during the first install must have been missed. Efim, thanks for replying.
