ANS1017E Session rejected: TCP/IP connection failure

I cant seemed to get over with this.



ANS1017E Session rejected: TCP/IP connection failure.



I am running client util. on the server and having issues creating a session on port 1500. This port is not used by any other process. Everything is local.



here is dsmserv.opt config:

COMMmethod TCPIP

TCPPort 1500

TCPADMINPort 1500





Thanks.

Have you made sure nothing is already tying up that port on the server? Try another port, if it works then the port is being used by something (not unheard of). Also on startup of the TSM server make sure the TCPIP initializes, sometimes it fails on startup.

Scratch this - I now see the "everything is local" comment...



Can you even ping the TSM server from this particular node???



Gotta go with Chad on the port being used already...

Or the setup for itself not going back to localhost properly.

The port is not being used by any other process. I tried different ports but same result.

Its weird.



Any other thoughts?



Thanks again!

Here is a snippet from dsmerror.log:



01/18/2007 12:16:04 ANS5216E Could not establish a TCP/IP connection with address 'LOCALHOST:1501'. The TCP/IP error is 'Unknown error' (errno = 10061).

01/18/2007 12:16:04 ANS4039E Could not establish a session with a TSM server or client agent. The TSM return code is -50.

Hi,



well - my suggestion is:

to check, whether the port is really correct issue "q opt"

try to "telnet" to that machine and that port

then try to find what listens on the port (using netstat)

then use any network sniffing tool (tcpdump on *nix or Wireshark on Windows)



After that you will know more

Usually it is a firewall or other network related problem



Hope it helps
