Orbix daemon and Extreme Coordinator fail due to incorrect TCP/IP hosts file entries


Product

  Prinergy 1.1; Prinergy Connect 2.0

Platform

 

Operating system

 


Error

 


Symptoms

 

Errors in the diagnostic log:

- suggest that the Orbix Daemon is not running, when in fact it is.

- indicate that the Device and Services Daemon fails to connect to the Extreme Coordinator.

- Clients connecting to CORBA servers get timeout errors.

See PR details for error messages.


Cause

  Incorrect entries in the TCP/IP hosts file.

The Locator Daemon updates the TCP/IP hosts file on each Prinergy node to improve Orbix performance by making IP address <-> hostname lookup faster.

For example, opening a job window in Workshop can be up to 5 seconds faster with this compared to without.


Solution

 

1. Remove the incorrect IP address entries in the hosts file.

2. Restart Prinergy.

See PR details for more detailed instructions.

Permanent fix:
