Replication: cannot connect to xxx.xxx.xxx.xxxx, Name or service not known

Question

Hi,

I'm trying to setup a replication pair between a source DD and target DD - it is a Directory replication type.

There are already three other directories that are being replicated between the source and target DD's - so communication is working fine - theoretically....

I'm using the DD System manager to select source/destination as well as the source and destination directory.

All 8 pre-configure checks pass successfully.

I then get a Replication: cannot connect to xxx.xxx.xxx.xxxx, Name or service not known

Anyone know why existing directories would work fine but not new ones ?

And any advice on where to start checking ?

Thanks

Chris

Thanks Sed3000 - I've sort-of inherited the environment and I am still trying to figure out what was done.

After establishing that the DD's could not ping each other I was able to resolve the issue by modifying the hosts file with correct IP/DNS information for the pair. Replication is running fine - I suppose the other 3 replication sessions still had the original IP config and was able to run as the pairs were already in an established state.

Thanks for the links to useful documents.

Regards
