Problem:

• Product Name: Borland Enterprise Server (AppServer)
• Product Version: 5.x and later
• Product Component: Management Agent
• Platform/ OS version: All

Sometimes, when you are trying to run the scu from the command line, the following exception is thrown and it prevents you from proceeding further:

org.omg.CORBA.COMM_FAILURE:
java.net.ConnectException: Connection refused: connect
vmcid: 0x0 minor code: 0 completed: No

Resolution:

Two possible solutions are:

1) This problem can occur when there are multiple BES installations running on the same sub-net but with different security configurations. Please verify if there are any other instances of BES visible to this new installation?

Assuming the default management port (42424) you could check this by doing the following:

C:\\BES\\bin>set OSAGENT_PORT=42424 
C:\\BES\\bin>osfind 

Please try to use another OSAGENT_PORT and Management Port number, and then rerun the server to verify if you still see the connection refused message.

2) Secondly, take a look at the machine /etc/hosts file. If "localhost 127.0.0.1" is at the first entry, you need to move it to the bottom of the list.
