[Arsperl-users] API problem: hostname : RPC: Rpcbind failure - RPC: Authentication error) (ARERR #90)

[Urban, R. (A. A. M. e. Mitarbeiter) <EXT...@al...>]

Hi Folks,
 
I have a problem that I don't think is related specifically to ARSPerl, but I thought
this might nevertheless be a good place to ask for help...
 
I have several Sparc machines (SPARC-Enterprise-T5220) running Solaris10. They have ARS v6.3
installed and are configured to be in a server-group with another machine running Solaris8 with ARS v6.3.
There is another server-group running on Solaris9 with ARS v6.3.
 
I have a simple ARSPerl script:
 

	my $ARS = ars_Login($server, $username, $password);
	if (!defined($ARS)) {
	        print "connection failed.\nars-error:\n$ars_errstr\n";
	        exit;
	}
	print "connect OK\n";
	 
	ars_Logoff($ARS);

If I run this script on either one of the Solaris10 servers and point it at the same machine ($server)
where the script is running (localhost), it works. If I point it at one of the Solaris9 machines, it works.
If I point it at the the other Solaris10 machine, it fails with the following error:
 

	connection failed.
	ars-error:
	[ERROR] Message not in catalog; Message number = 90 (sol10host1 : RPC: Rpcbind failure - RPC: Authentication error) (ARERR #90)
	

I also get the error if I run the script from the Solaris8 machine, and point at either of the Solaris10 machines.
 
If I point the script at any other machine, for example the Solaris8 machine in the same server-group, it works.
 
If I set the environment variable ARTCPPORT to a port I know is configured in ARS ("private"), as follows:

	export ARTCPPORT=390621

and run my script, it fails with a different error-message:

	connection failed
	ars-error:
	[ERROR] Message not in catalog; Message number = 90 (sol10host2 (0) : RPC: Miscellaneous tli error - An event requires attentionError 0) (ARERR #90)

To sum things up: the script is successful when run from and machine to a non-solaris10 machine
 
the script fails when run from any machine to a Solaris10 machine.
 
I'm using ARSperl-1.91 and ARS API v6.3.

anyone have a clue what the problem is?
