make_recovery and rpc

[siaemic]

We use make_recovery utility to install new hp-ux workstation starting from a preconfigured reference workstation. Then we modified ip_address and name of new installed ws.
Now we are experiencing problems in using rpc on new ws. Can this be related to make_recovery ?

I think it's more likely that the problem came about from changing the hostname/ip_address. Can the workstation resolve it's own name correctly? nslookup ? nslookup ?

Yes, nslookup works correctly both resolving name and ip_address.
In our test, rpc client and server are on same ws. We see that rcp server receive the client call, then server tries to connect to client using an AF_INET socket but connect fails for "connection refused". In any case on client side the clnt_call function fails for timeout
