Re: Sametime on iSeries suddenly stopped -- DOMINO400

My memory is pretty fuzzy for Sametime connectivity troubleshooting but I 
think I remember that log entries are written by some of the processes -- 
check for *.log files in the IFS.

Also review the startup of the server -- any of the services give bad 
messages when trying to start ?

Re: Sametime on iSeries suddenly stopped






That's where I started, too.  Should have said so.  My boss is the keeper 
of the networking keys.  He's made no changes and sees nothing to indicate 

a problem.  There are no rules between my workstation and the server that 
might restrict access to that specific port.  Access to the other LPARs is 

fine, but they don't serve Sametime, so I can't say whether 1533 is 
available over there or not. 

I can connect to the Sametime server using the Admin client or the 
standard Notes client.  When I tried to connect to the Sametime server 
using Sametime Connect in the browser (we don't use it here, but it was 
suggested for troubleshooting on a forum), it recognizes if I fat-finger 
the password and tells me that I used an invalid password (How does it do 
that if the server is unreachable?).  If I get the password correct, it 
tells me "Unable to log in to the Sametime server because it is either 
unreachable, or not configured properly.  Please try again later.  If the 
problem persists, contact your system administrator."  I have not been 
able to test the desktop Sametime Connect yet.

It was apparently configured properly this morning and no changes were 
made to the server.  No new automatic replication has been introduced and 
I did not push a replication manually this morning.

Any networking changes ?  Changes to DNS, hostname etc ?  Not necessarily 
on the iSeries either -- check for external factors that may impact the 
server from a networking perspective.

Sametime on iSeries suddenly stopped






I have Sametime running on an LPAR on an iSeries that has been running 
without issue for months.  Due to other constraints, the server is 
restarted nightly.  This morning, everything was working like normal for 
the first hour or two of the business day and then it stopped accepting 
connections.  The message that shows up in the status bar of the Notes 
client when I try to connect is 0x80000223, which other sources indicate 
is "Connection refused"

I see nothing in the logs to indicate an issue and I've restarted the 
Sametime server -- nothing that I noticed during the restart messages that 



would indicate an error to me.  NETSTAT on the iSeries does not indicate 
anything listening on 1533 and I cannot telnet to that port, but I'm not 
sure that either of those are unusual because I haven't tried to do this 
during normal operation.

Any suggestions would be much appreciated.

iSeries is running V5R3
Domino 6.5.4FP2

Thanks in advance!
