[hobbit] SunOS does not give back informations to the Hobbit Server

[Brian Catlin]

Have you made sure your client configuration specifies the server IP or the
hobbit Master(S) and the proper port? 

 

If they are good, then networking is highly suspect - check that the port is
being passed by routers and firewall settings.  Firewall routes should be
bidirectional. Keep in mind that any network tests specified either need it
be passed on their own ports also if they are to work.  (I have one server
in the dmz that has ssh test, but none of the other tests for network
enabled) 

 

Snoop (tcpdump if preferred) from the client side and see if you see
anything coming through the interface outbound.



Networking in the sun server is not a lot of magic, just get the numbers
right!  BTW if you traceroute to the master IP from the Sun client servers,
one of the very first things it prints is the interface IP it is going
across.



Make sure the /etc/ files are right (hosts, nsswitch.conf, resolv.conf.,
hostname.<Interface>)



Check all your logs ( /var/adm/messages on all, the client log [defined in
the client configuration], var/log/hobbit/* on the server.



Manual tests you can run: 



Telnet <targetIP> 1984

Traceroute -p 1984 <targetIP>



Hope that helps a little = I am doing this from memory, I may have switches
wrong - use your best friend to confirm - man pages!



I run to 20 or so SunOS boxes (Sun and Fujitsu PrimePower hardware).  I have
2 masters - one on sun,one on linux, soon to add a third as DR. (Linux is
our test and development) The only issues I have had to deal with in
communications is getting the routers and firewalls to pass the port to the
proper servers.

Is the process running ? 

Do you have any log in the hobbit log directory ? 

Did you recompile the client or install it ? 

Didn't you install a server instead of a client on the SunOS ?
