I'm not sure that the error is an indication of a firewall issue. You did not indicate the type of server, so I can't be ral specific, but, it looks more to me like the INET service is not running on the client system
Windows
- Go to Services, find the Data Protector INET service, make sure that it is started
HPUX
- Run
ps -ef | grep inetd
and see if the 'inetd' daemon is running. If it is not, run 'inetd' to start it. Also, check /etc/services to be sure that there is a line, most likely, the last line in the file
omni 5555/tcp
and check the file /etc/inetd.conf to be sure that there is a line
omni stream tcp6 nowait root /opt/omni/lbin/inet inet –log /var/opt/omni/log/inet.log
Linux:
- Run
ps aux | grep [xi]netd
to see if the inetd process is running. If not, run
/etc/init.d/xinetd reload
/etc/init.d/xinetd restart
From the command prompt on the cell manager, check to see if DP will connect through port 5555
telnet [client hostname] 5555 Do not include the [ ] marks
