Error while request from client RPC to Server RPC

[M.R.Anand]

Hi,
Im using the RPC functions in HP UX 11.00. The problem is sometimes the client RPC terminated by Server RPC with the error "RPC : Miscellaneous tli error - bad flags" error. I'm not sure when and why this error is coming. i always use the port tcp. The problem resolved once the RPC daemon is restarted.

Please let me know if you have come accross this problem and why this error is thrown out?? and what will be the resolution??.

Anand ,

A TLI Error (Transport layer interface) is normally sent out if there is a problem with client server communication .
Since you say that you are using TCP , one of the common problems faced with TCP is the
process running out of file handles. This happens when the server process has too many clients.
This can be managed by increasing the limit.
Another area where you might want to look into is your portmapper service -"rpcbind"

Best of Luck ,
Subir

Hi

As in your other entry . It must be something like that.

Check you dmesg and syslog and if there are no messages then check the program coded limits


It will run till a limit is reached.
