Unable to open a socket to talk to CMS Error

[jayesh_deshpande]

Hi,

While trying to login to Infoview/Cmc I am getting following error:

Error: Unable to open a socket to talk to CMS ps5990:6400 (FWM 01005) null

I am not sure whats wrong here. I also checked CCM and found that SIA is running. However I was not able to login using Manage Servers.

thanks in advance for your reply.

Here is a possible solution...

Either the port number given for Central Management Server at the time of login is incorrect or the port is already in use by another application.


Make sure to give correct port number for CMS at the time of login. The CMS server default port is 6400.

In the "System" field in the authentication box, type in "server:port" (without " "). For e.g., if it is default, you may either type myservername or myservername:6400

In order to change default port number at which the CMS server runs, do the following steps:

* Stop the Server Intelligence Agent (SIA) from Central Configuration Manager (CCM).
* Right Click > Go to Properties > Startup tab.
* Click on the Central Management server > Properties tab.
* Change the port number to some other number which is not in use by any other application. Click OK.
* Apply > OK.
* Start the SIA.

Just as a wacky thought, you have called your network people, yes? I mean, if this was working before, then it is clearly a network issue that has cropped up. I'd check to see if there were any configuration changes made over the weekend. Especially ones with top secret documentation.
