I recently resolved a UniAdmin issue, and having found no information
in searching the web and archives I figured I'd post the issue and
resolution here in case someone else experiences the same.
 
Here's the setup: A customer had an older AIX system that they wanted
to replace.  So they bought a newer, bigger, faster, ... well, you get
the idea... and reclassed the old production machine as their dev/test
box.  Unidata 5.2 was running on the old box, 6.1 on the new box.
 
After the conversion, UniAdmin worked fine on the old box.  No
problems whatsoever.  UniAdmin would not work on the new box, however.
The unirpcd service was running exactly as on the old box, but every
time UniAdmin would try to connect to the new box the message "No RPC
Connection Active" would be displayed.  We tried various versions of
UniAdmin with no success.  Every time the result was the same.
 
The Solution: I noticed on another system where UniAdmin was connected
that the service name was uniadmin60, not uniadmin.  Looking at the
unirpcservices file in /ud/uv/unishared/unirpc I noticed that there
was no uniadmin61, but there was a uniadmin entry.  So looking at the
other machine that was working - to verify I wasn't crazy - I copied
the uniadmin entry in unirpcservices into a new uniadmin61 entry and
restarted unirpcd and UniAdmin works fine.
 
It appears that 5.2 uses the "uniadmin" service name, but 6.0 and 6.1
use the "uniadmin60" and "uniadmin61" entries. Not sure if that's
wholly true, but that's what it seems like.  Wally, can you confirm?
 
Anyway, hope this helps, and if anyone sees anything I've done
horribly wrong, please speak now.
