Unable to login to instance via SAP GUI after changing /etc/hosts

139 Views

Hello all,

I am experiencing an odd problem with a new installation of Solution Manager 7.1 SP4

Running on AIX 5.3 TL12

Oracle 11.2

I configured my system and it is operating normally, except I was told to adjust my hosts file per an OSS message (to fix an issue with ICM)

My hosts file currently looks like this

IP < sid.company.net>

what it needs to be is

IP < sid.na.company.net>

When I make the adjustment to the hosts file, my instance starts and stops properly, however, I can no longer log into it using SAP GUI! (We are running 7.20 patch 10)

I get error

"Connection to partner <IP>:sapdp00 broken

return code: -6

system call: recv"

However, when I change hosts back to

IP < sid.company.net>

and restart R3 I can log in!

I have reviewed and adjusted my DEFAULT.PFL and instance profile to make sure they are OK and this has been verified by OSS.

Any help would be greatly appreciated as this is quite frustrating.

Thanks.
