DSA start failed if Console Port and Remote Console Port set to same port number

Products

• CA Directory
• DIRECTORY

Issue/Introduction

I created a new DSA using Management UI. It created successfully, but when I tried to start it I got the following "<DSA> failed to start" error dialog.

 

The following error messages shown in both DSA alarm or trace log files.
   DSA_E1310 Cannot open local console
   DSA_I1240 DSA shutting down

Cause

This issue occurs because Console Port and Remote Console Port are set to same port number.

Management UI "Create DSA > Ext. Knowledge" page shows this.

Or DSA's knowledge section shows the following.

Environment

Release : 14.0

Component : CA Directory

Resolution

Console Port (console-port) and Remote Console Port (remote-console-port) have to be set to different port number within a DSA. Otherwise the resource will conflict and you cannot start/run the DSA.

Please refer below documentation for more details.

Specify different port number to resolve this problem.
