Monitor High Availability on other SLES servers

[hurlburj]

Have you checked your firewall log to make sure you can accept incoming connections on port 8400? GWHA is essentially a web server that waits for commands from the monitor server.

You can test it: go to your monitor server and do:

'telnet <target server IP> 8400'

and see if you get a connection. It should ask you for a username.

Since default installs of SLES with the firewall enabled do not allow high ports, 8400 is probably blocked.

Check /var/log/firewall for dropped connections:

'cat /var/log/firewall | grep 8400'

I've got the Monitor working fine with GWHA on the local SLES server, but it will not work for other GroupWise servers.

Configuration is like this:
Server-1;
- MTA, POA, GWMonitor
- created a ha user and configured grpwise-ma
- GWHA configured with xinetd
- agents will auto-reload after bringing down :)

Server-2;
- MTA, GWIA, GWInter, WebAccess
- created same ha user as on Server-1
- GWHA configured with xinetd
- agents will NOT auto-reload after bringing down :(
- I do see entries in the /var/log/xinetd.log

Anyone done this before? - I would guess so....
Is there something I miss here?
