"A Remote Procedure Call to an agent has failed."

[Douglass Anderson]

on HP 11.11 I get the above error when in swinstall. The server is in a DMZ with firewall. but I dont know the port and protocol to allow. I enabled 2121 UDP and I get the list of depots on the server (outside the DMZ), but I get the error when I try to view what is in the the depot

You can restrict it to use TCP only in the desired port range.

On the depot server edit /etc/rc.config.d/swconfig and define

RPC_RESTRICTED_PORTS=ncacn_ip_tcp[port1-port2]

On the client where you run swinstall define environment variable RPC_RESTRICTED_PORTS

$ export RPC_RESTRICTED_PORTS=ncacn_ip_tcp[port1-port2]
