Installing ControlM server

Post by nbarr007 » 11 Feb 2014 2:24

Hi

I have just installed Control-M/Server 7.00 on a Redhat linux 5.7 machine. When I try to discover the Control-M/Server and gateway I get the following errors:

1. Control-M/Server State=Down Desired State=Up
2. Gateway State=Up Desired State=Up

Message=Disconnected

Could you please advise how I can trouble shoot these issues

Hi

Check if components can communicate correctly. (hostname, ip, etc...)
Disable redhat firewall on each server.

Hi fyot

Thanks for your response. I have disable the firewall on both machines and I can ping both machines using the hostname and IP address. I have feeling it could be something to do with ports

Hi

There is something you must verify in your hosts file.
Sometime host file contains a mistake under RedHat (and some other unix installation)

localhost or your hostname use loopback ip address 127.0.0.1.
verify that your hostname doesn't use it, and use only its own ip address.

and on each servers

Hi Fyot

I found the following line in my hosts file on my redhat box:

::1 localhost6.localdomain6 localhost6

should I comment this out?

are you sure the ctm server is up? what user did u use to install it? check on server side first if everything is ok and make sure your ports are availables.

Hi

Yes you can if you don't use IPV6

You must have something as following example

#

127.0.0.1 localhost

# special IPv6 addresses
#::1 localhost ipv6-localhost ipv6-loopback

#fe00::0 ipv6-localnet

#ff00::0 ipv6-mcastprefix
#ff02::1 ipv6-allnodes
#ff02::2 ipv6-allrouters
#ff02::3 ipv6-allhosts
192.168.1.212 YOURSERVER

Hi fyot

I have now resolved the issue. I made the mistake of commenting out the loopback address in the /etc/hosts file.

Thanks for all your help, if it was not for you, I would be still messing about with ports numbers
