Client is having a problem with connect-back via vnetd:

get_vnetd_forward_socket: get_string ipc_string failed: 5

 bpcd main: get_vnetd_forward_socket failed: 23

Please check state of bpcd and vnetd in netstat -a output on client.

If there are lots of connections in CLOSE_WAIT state, you can try to restart NBU Client Service, but a reboot might be needed.

Hi falti,

Restarted the server.

Hi Marianne,

Firewall is stopped and SElinux is also disabled.

Still issue persists.Kindly guide me on the same.

Hi,

Usually for bpclntcmd -pn command will give a below format output.

Expecting response from server <Master server>

<Client server domain name> <client name> <ip address> <port number>

But in the issue Linux machine, I am getting only the first line alone.

Can you share your xinet configuration for bpcd and vnetd?

Could you also run on the client:

#telnet localhost 13782

Check if PBX is running on client:

#ps -ef |grep -i pbx

Does you client have several NICs? Cause it might be the problem.

Try to clear a host cache on master and on client (you haven't provided us bpclntcmd so it might help). Run this command on them:

#bpclntcmd -clear_host_cache

If nothing helps, try to upgrade client  up to 7.1.0.2 - maybe something wrong with binaries.

It means that master can't resolv or cached wrong ip. Or client has several NICs and sends request from unexpected IP.

Hi Gavirilov,

Please find the output

[root@cdcdrwikiap02 ~]# ps -ef |grep -i pbx
root      2198     1  0 Aug28 ?        00:00:00 /opt/VRTSpbx/bin/pbx_exchange
root      2824  2799  0 03:13 pts/0    00:00:00 grep -i pbx

Error in opening VxPBX CLI resource bundle
[root@cdcdrwikiap02 ~]# /opt/VRTSpbx/bin/pbx_exchange start
Error in opening VxPBX CLI resource bundle
 

Anything replated to PBx, but 1556 port is communicating.?

You can restart it this way:

# /opt/VRTSpbx/bin/vxpbx_exchanged stop

# /opt/VRTSpbx/bin/vxpbx_exchanged start

but you have to focus on this:

But in the issue Linux machine, I am getting only the first line alone.

It's common problem on multi-NIC hosts.

You still haven't post:

#bpclntcmd -self

Have you add this client into any politics?

Have you tried to clear host caches on both machines?

and so on... 

Hi,

After starting the PBX service in Client.bptestbpcd is completing successfully from master server.

But after some time again it is encountering the socket connection issue.

Please find the bpclntcmd command output.

root@hostname1 bin]# ./bpclntcmd -self
yp_get_default_domain failed: (12) Local domain name not set
NIS does not seem to be running: (1) Request arguments bad
gethostname() returned: hostname1
host cdcdrwikiap02: hostname at 172.17.162.51
aliases:     hostname1     172.17.162.51
 

chnage the current hostname to hostname1.

What is in its bp.conf file paste or attach if possible - also, what is in its own hosts file - anything for itself against a different name?

How many NICS in use / how many IP addresses doe this client have?
