Hello Gent's,

Snapcenter 2.0 issue communicating to NAS file catalog on port 8145, port on the liux server is not opened.

2017-06-17T23:02:22.9232329+01:00 ERROR SnapManagerWeb_20 PID=[5288] TID=[ApisJobNotificationHandler:210] Exception in method: InvokeXML.

Any other port to be used ?

var/opt/snapcenter/spl/etc/spl.properties

SPL_PORT=8145

Thanks

Hi,

The port needs to be open on the agent host. Check if a firewall is running on the agent host:

# service iptables status
If the firewall is running, you either need to open port 8145 on it or turn it off. Run the following command to turn off the port:
# service iptables stop
To test if the connectivity has been restored, go to the Inventory page in the SnapCenter GUI and select 'Refresh Resources'

I had same issue with v3.0 as well. Followed the steps in the threads and others, did not help. I finally download the Linux plugin and installed it at the Linux manually, after that, went to SnapCenter GUI, went through add host steps without any problem. Just FYI
