UDP port can be disable from NMC.

Not sure why nsrports doesn't work, but it could be already set range. Try to change it via nsradmin.

rpcinfo is using port 111 which probably is not open - instead use nsrexecd port with nsradmin to test remote connectivity.

Hello Crvelin,

as always you are very helpful (thanks a bunch ;-))

No I tried to run the following from the client:

nsradmin -p nsrexec -s 10.0.0.60 "NetWorker server"

This is what I am getting

39078:nsradmin: RPC error: RPC receive operation failed. A network connection c
ould not be established with the host.

There does not appear to be a NetWorker nsrexecd server running on 10.0.0.60.

Now I know that nsrexecd is running on the networker server as there are other backups running.

I did try to telnet back to the server on port 111 and that is closed, so I have just put in a request to have that open.

It should be done in an hour or so so I will keep you posted.

Thanks

Thanks for that.

I tried what you suggested and here is the outcome:

C:\Documents and Settings\administrator.EXTRANET>echo p | nsradmin -p 390113 -i
- -s 10.0.0.60
39078:nsradmin: RPC error: RPC receive operation failed. A network connection c
ould not be established with the host.

There does not appear to be a NetWorker nsrexecd server running on 10.0.0.60.

I have checked and the RPC service is started on both machines.

Use: echo p | nsradmin -p 390113 -i - -s

You can use this against any client/server from any client/server.

That means TCP runs fine... then RPC remains to be checked. To make it easier, check with fw admin if at the time when you try to connect fw gets anything logged.

It means you can't connect via RPC to nsrexeced port (ONC 390113). That does seem to be blocked (or maybe whole RPC protocol might be blocked). Can you confirm 7937 and 7938 ports are open for communication?

Both ports are open for communication.

If I run

telnet 10.0.0.60 7937
telnet 10.0.0.60 7938

from the client

and

telnet 172.16.1.54 7937
telnet 172.16.1.54 7938

from the server, they all run successfully.
