[mdp_uk]

Hi

We have a pair of Nokia 380's running in clustering mode. The SCS recently died with no hope of restore. I built a new server and installed the relevent software then ran import _upgrade from the most recent export_upgrade I had, luckily yesterdays! It all ran fine and the rule base looks complete however when I went to test SIC I got the following message:

SIC Status for FW1.madeup.madeup.uk: Unknown

Could not establish TCP connection with 10.0.0.1

** Check that CPD is running on FW1.madeup.madeup.uk and that TCP connectivity is allowed from SmartCenter server to IP 10.0.0.1, Port 18191 **

(Obviously I have omitted the actual IP and hostname)

In a test enviroment I would happily run an unload local and try again and if that failed re-establish SIC but the FWs are happily passing traffic at the moment so i really don't want to break them without being sure the re-establishment will work.

Has anyone come across this problem before? As i understood it as long as the hostname and IP are the same as the original SCS all should be well !!

Any help would be very much appreciated !!!!!!!
