There are several possible reasons why a STAF PING request could fail even though a regular ping works. The help for STAF RC 16 is a good place to start. It says:
C:\>STAF local HELP ERROR 16 Response -------- Description: No path to endpoint Details : This indicates that STAFProc was not able to submit the request to the requested endpoint (i.e. machine). This error usually indicates that STAF is not running on the target machine, or that the requested endpoint is not valid, or that the network interface or port for the requested endpoint is not supported, or that a firewall is blocking communication via the port for the requested endpoint, or that a secure network interface is being used to communicate to a machine that doesn't have a secure network interface configured with the same certificate. Alternatively, you may need to increase your CONNECTTIMEOUT value for the network interface and/or increase your CONNECTATTEMPTS value in your STAF.cfg file. So, Is STAFProc running on the machine 9.124.159.179? Is a firewall blocking communication via the STAF tcp interface's port (e.g 6500)? Is TCP/IP DNS configured correctly on the machine? See the STAF FAQ at http://staf.sourceforge.net/current/STAFFAQ.htm for more information. In particular, see: - 3.1.3 Explain RC 16 when attempting to send a STAF request to a remote machine - 3.1.4 Why can't my STAF machines communicate? In particular, if machine 9.124.159.179 is a Linux machine, read what this section says about certain version of Linux setting up a high level of security access for incoming requests on specific ports (including the STAF tcp port which is 6500 by default and the STAF ssl port which is 6550 by default). - 3.1.5 Why aren't my entries in /etc/hosts being used for STAF communication (particularly on Linux SLES)? -------------------------------------------------------------- Sharon Lucas IBM Austin, luc...@us.ibm.com (512) 286-7313 or Tieline 363-7313 Nikunja B Das <nikun...@in.ibm.com> 01/27/2010 07:13 AM To STAF <staf-users@lists.sourceforge.net> cc Abdul Rauf <abdur...@in.ibm.com>, Ahmed Abdel-Baky <ab...@eg.ibm.com> Subject [staf-users] STAF communication fails to identify my machine Hi, I am trying to connect to my machine from STAF of another machine(hamburg.in.ibm.com) ,getting below error in blue.
