You can have a issue with a RC 16 (No path to endpoint) for multiple 
reasons, not just if STAFProc is not running on the endpoint you are 
trying too ping.  The description of RC 16 is provided via the STAF HELP 
service as follows:

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. target machine).  This error usually
indicates one or more of the following:

1. STAFProc is not running on the target machine.
2. The requested endpoint is not valid.
3. The network interface or port for the requested endpoint is not 
supported.
4. A firewall is blocking communication via the port for the requested
   endpoint.
5. 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.

In addition, see section "3.1.3 Explain RC 16 when attempting to send a 
STAF request to a remote machine" and section "3.1.4 Why can't my STAF 
machines communicate?" in the STAF FAQ for more reasons you may be getting 
an RC 16 on a STAF PING request to a remote system.

Subject:        [staf-users] STAF ping problem



Hi guys, 

I have a group of machines installed with STAF, but there's a problem that 
they can not staf ping through to each other now and then(e.g. especially 
when VIOS is connecting to AIX, error return code is 16), which blocks my 
work. Does anyone ever encounter with this problem? Or is any one in this 
group a member of the STAF team? I will appreciate that if someone gives 
me the answer or an email address of the STAF team. Many thanks! 

PS: 
STAF is normally running on each machine.
