Failed to create a socket. Response code 97 - SRAdmin not starting properly and Installation failing

Products

• CA Spectrum
• DX NetOps

Issue/Introduction

Unable to do the installation as SRAdmin process posts error about failing to bind to port (code 97)

Environment

Release : 21.2.x

Resolution

With newer versions of DX Netops Spectrum it is advised to use systemctl to start and stop certain processes.

Processd and SRAdmin are some of these.

I.e.

systemctl stop sradmin.service

systemctl start sradmin.service

systemctl status sradmin.service

This should be done as root, or a user with proper sudo privileges to excute systemctl start/stop/status.

Note - you may need to remove .service from the command to get the command to work properly.
