Solution 1004770.1 : Sun Enterprise[TM] 10000: Error: can't communicate with DR daemon

Applies to:

Sun Enterprise 10000 Server - Version Not Applicable and later
All Platforms

Symptoms

When trying to attach or detach a System Board, you can get the following messages:

Checking environment...
Establishing Control Board Server connection...
Initializing SSP SNMP MIB...
Establishing communication with DR daemon...
Can't clnt_create:ccpi11: RPC : Program not registered
Error: can't communicate with DR daemon.
RPC setup failure.Check DR host daemon.Unable to continue

Cause

Possible misconfiguration of inetd.conf.

Solution

Nowadays, security is a serious issue. Sometimes, when trying to protect our systems, we can disable some features that are needed for correct operation of the system. If you see the above errors, check the /etc/inetd.conf file for the domain. The DR line should be:

300326/4	tli	rpc/tcp wait root /usr/platform/sun4u1/sbin/dr_daemon   dr_daemon

If the line is commented or missing from /etc/inetd.conf, you will not be able to use DR in that system. To solve the problem, perform the following as root user:

# cp /etc/inetd.conf /etc/inetd.conf.bak
Correct the inetd.conf file
# ps -ef | grep inetd
# kill -HUP <inetd.pid>
