Issue/Introduction

We migrated one of our SDC servers from win2008 to win2016 on a new system. I have installed the SDC and am using the exact same config files on the servers (SDC and SDM). The new server, for some reason, is unable to connect to the DSS - or vice versa.  The ports are open and I can see a listening status on port 6844 but nothing established.

The error is:

Environment

Release : 20.2.x

Component : SPCAPP - Spectrum Applications

Cause

Firewall

Resolution

Verify that Windows Firewall and/or Firewalld (IPTables) on linux are disabled.  When enabled, they block the connection.  Also verify that port 6844 is open on the firewall(s) between the SS and the SDC.  If all of that seemingly checks out, try reversing the connection.  If you have -accept in the SDM.config change it to -remoteconnect  and the same in sdc.config (if it was -remoteconnect change it to -accept).  On the SS you'll need to import the sdm.config again. On the SDC cycle the SDMConnector process.

Occasionally a SpectroSERVER restart can also clear this up.
