Hobbit client on VMWare ESX 3
list Ed Ingram
Has anyone tested this configuration? I'm running hobbitserver and client version 4.2-RC-20060712. The server is working fine with a large number of other windows and linux clients, but this one client running vmware esx 3 does not seem to work. I know ESX 3 comes with firewall rules built in, but I'm able to ping the hobbit server from the esx server and vice versa. Anyways...this is what I keep getting in the log file: 2006-07-20 17:05:42 Could not connect to bbd at 1.2.3.4:1984 - Connection refused 2006-07-20 17:05:42 Whoops ! bb failed to send message - Connection failed Ed Edward Ingram Sr. Systems Engineer - MCSE, CCNA People's Choice Home Loan, Inc. user-f95b632fe0d7@xymon.invalid <mailto:user-f95b632fe0d7@xymon.invalid> XXX.XXX.XXXX XXX.XXX.XXXX FAX This e-mail is intended solely for the person or entity to which it is addressed and may contain confidential and/or privileged information.

Try telnetting from the client to the server. I think it's port 1720? Jason Chambers IT Helpdesk Support <http://www.geosoft.com/20>; eosoft Inc. XX Richmond St. West - 8th Floor Toronto, Ontario, Canada M5H 2C9 Tel: XXX-XXX-XXXX x344 Fax: XXX-XXX-XXXX www.geosoft.com

"ping" is one thing, a tcp connection is very different. Try a telnet IP.of.Hobbit.server 1984 and see if that works. If not, you have a network/routing/firewall issue to take care of first. Regards, Henrik

It's port 1984 (Big brother (now hobbit), get it?) Anyway, I will appreciate any notes you can give for getting it on ESX3. I just put a production instance up last week, and have several more going in over the next few months. Thanks

Found it. You have to open a port in the built in firewall to allow outbound to 1984. Unless you set the security to LOW (basically no firewall) when you install, you have to run this command in the console to open up the port: esxcfg-firewall --openPort 1984,tcp,out That did it.
