Reverse deployment fails

stefanmaier

Hi,
I need some assistance in configuring a reverse deployment.

My environment:
TS Server (reverse target):
Win2003SP1
OD 6.0.2.1.1 Build 53981
Servername: sv50528.ruv.de

OD Client (reverse source):
AIX
OD 6.0.2.1.1 Build 53981
Servername: ux62191.ruv.de

Here are my configuration files, first the TS server (reverse target) side (only relevant snippets):
odnodes.xml
[html][/html]odbase.xml
[html]

[/html]I also tested path names with / and \\ as directory delimiter,
additionally I cut of the domain name from host entry, also without any success...

My deployment config
[html]

[/html]On the OD Client (reverse source) I have (only snippets too)
odrcvr.xml
[html][/html]And that's the result I got on the TS server (reverse target side) if I start the deployment:
[html]LIB: id=m1 2006-06-02 11:22:45 Destination directory [c:\temp\reverse]
LIB: 2006-06-02 11:22:45 ERROR: [c:\temp\reverse] is not an allowed deployment path.
LIB: 2006-06-02 11:22:45 ERROR: Failed deploying local_directory[0] (\apps\OpenDeployNG\tmp) to (c:\temp\reverse)
LIB: 2006-06-02 11:22:45 ERROR: Failed 1 of 1 local_directories
[/html]There're no additional error information in any OD Client log.

Does anybody know, why the reverse target blocks the deployment?
As I see, the destination directory is administered correctly in the odbase.xml... Do I miss something?

Regards
Stefan

I'll ask the "stupid" question:
Did you restart the services (on both sides) after having made the configuration changes?

stefanmaier

Yes, I restarted every OD services multiple times.
Nevertheless thanks for the hint...

Next question - are you going through a firewall that does NAT?
If so - I believe the allowedHost node needs to be the IP address of the firewall as that is what the sender will appear to be (I think, been a while)

No, there's no firewall between sender and receiver and there's no NAT.
I had this point in my mind, too. Indeed it is necessary to use the IP address, if there's a firewall between the two servers.
I changed the host value into the IP address, but I got the same error.
Also I used the node name "Web_Server_1UX" given in the odnode.xml, but without any success.

Is "/apps/OpenDeployNG/tmp" an allowed deployment directory in odrcvr on ux62191;

Hi Adam,
yes, this directory is enabled for deployments.
If we deploy something into /apps/OpenDeployNG/tmp, it does complete successfully.

You're saying it's allowed for loop-back deployments?
But is it allowed for reverse deployments (i.e. from the reverseSource host?

stefanmaier

Hi,
I mean, that the machines are configured to do a deployment "in the normal direction" (from source server
sv50528 to target machine ux62191 into the directory /apps/OpenDeployNG/tmp). These "normal"
deployments complete successfully.

But is it allowed for reverse deployments (i.e. from the reverseSource host?

I read out of your question, that I've to configure some files on the reverseSource host (ux62191)?

No - I'm saying you need to make sure that the reverseSource host (ux62191) is an allowedHost in the odbase.xml on the reverseTarget host (sv50528).

(and remember to restart the OD service on the reverseTarget host (sv50528) after making that change.

Comprende?

stefanmaier

Si,
the reverseSource host (ux62191) is an allowedHost on the reverseTarget host (sv50528), see my first thread entry...
Also I restarted OD on source and target.

I thought that was the case, but then later you seemed to diverge from that information so I wanted to make sure.

Sorry - no other ideas at the moment other than working with IWOV Support...

stefanmaier

That will be the last chance.

Thanks for all suggestions
Stefan
