problem with hw_assist

[ANTONIO_SIMULA]

Hi All,

I have a problem with setting up of "cf.ha_assist".

when try to start command cf.ha_assist test, i have this output:

cf hw_assist Error: No response from partner(XXXX), timed out.

i use the e0M interface for cf.ha_assist.

from the cf hw_assist status command i see this output:

Thu Jul 10 22:14:46 CEST [IXXX:cf.hwassist.Default.NodemgmtAddr:notice]: The system automatically chose 192.168.X.X as the local hardware-assist IP address. 

Thu Jul 10 22:15:07 CEST [XXX:cf.hwassist.socBindFailed:error]: hw_assist: bind failed to port 4444 on IP address 192.168.X.X Error 49

the netapp system is Fas2240-4 with data ontap 8.2.1

can you help me ?

thanks for support

Regards

Antonio
