OpenDeploy can't connect to RMI port 9173

Hi,
Our OpenDeploy server suddenly failed to deploy, and when (I desperation of any other solution to solve the problem) tried to restart (/etc/init.d/stop and start) the OpenDeploy server (5.5.1 on AIX), it fails with the following log:
Anybody knows why?

In between running /etc/init.d/iwod stop and /etc/init.d/iwod start - I recommend running: netstat -na | grep 9173

In the past, stopping OD did not necessarily mean that all the sockets had been cleared - some of them may still be sitting in a wait state or something.

When the netstat command no longer shows anything listening on 9173 - then run /etc/init.d/iwod start

In your case - make sure to run the 'stop' again first before running the netstat command.

Thanks for the tip, but…

After a couple of tries, it went up again. But now I got another problem, when checking the server status (bin/iwodserverstatus) or logging in to the admin GUI, I get:

From the GUI

* Failed to get server handle.null

And in the log file:

API: 2003-10-27 12:37:28 CET GMT+01:00 ***ERROR - failed to get server handle.

Any idea why?

Can anyone explain to me what the RMI service is actually doing? As well what activity happens on port 20017?

Thanks,

Lucas.

9173 is the default port for the RMI registry, which the OD CLTs and Admin use to locate the OpenDeploy services (which are instantiated within the Base Server or Receiver.)

There is a summary of all OD ports and their uses in the OD 5.6 Inst & Ref Guide, chapter 13.
