RPC Server unavailable

570414621

I have recently taken over the management of Storage Central 5.2 and I am having difficulties with running the reports.
When I try to submit reports I get the error message "RPC Server Unavailable". An output file is created with "No objects meet the selected criteria", although I know this is not true.
I know that this is a recognised problem and have installed SP1 and 2.
However the issue is still unresolved. Has anyone else come up against this issue after installing the SPs?

Error - RPC Server Unavailable
http://seer.support.veritas.com/docs/257433.htm

Exact Error Message
The RPC Server is unavailable

Details:
When trying to connect to another server using the VERITAS Storage Exec (tm) 5.3 Administration Console, the error "RPC Server is unavailable." is returned.

This error may occur if the connection to a remote server is temporarily interrupted, i.e. restarting the QuotaAdvisor service, or the server to which you are connecting is behind a firewall which does IP address translation. Storage Exec uses Distributed Component Object Model (DCOM) which requires the IP address of the server to communicate. You must reconfigure your firewall, or manage this server from the same network segment.

See http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;EN-US;q248809 for more information.

you can also receive this error when you run a report on a machine which has a firewall on or the machine where you're running the report from doesn't have access to the remote machine.
