Icmpserver errors seen in the Spectrum VNM.OUT file

Products

• CA Spectrum

Issue/Introduction

When starting the SpectroSERVER the following errors are generated in the $SPECROOT/SS/VNM.OUT and the Spectrum Control Panel (SCP) if it is open:

Oct 18 16:05:48 ERROR at IcmpServer.cc(754): socket() FAILURE,
Cs_sock_get_last_error() = 97
Oct 18 16:05:48 ERROR at IcmpServer.cc(772): Error setting SO_SNDBUF=262144
Oct 18 16:05:48 ERROR at IcmpServer.cc(778): Error setting SO_RCVBUF=262144

Cause

The problem is due to disabling IPv6 on the SpectroSERVER system. When the SpectroSERVER starts up, it opens a socket for IPv4 and IPv6 communication. If IPv6 is disabled on the SpectroSERVER system Spectrum is installed on, the IcmpServer socket error will show.

Environment

Release: Any
Component: SPCCSS

Resolution

Enable IPv6 to solve the error messages.Otherwise, this message can be ignored.
