Situation
While reviewing the novell-kanakaengined.log file, a question came up regarding the following entries:
01 2012-01-01 00:04:45 -18000 7 8007 10302 52824940 NWXPLAT: m_pfnNWCCOpenConnByAddr() failed, rc = 0xc7e50014.

Note: the above is while the log is in debug mode.

Note: the above is while the log is in debug mode.
Resolution
At the moment, there are two known causes of the 0xc7e50014 and related "Result = 179" codes:
- The target cluster volume is not online -- comatose or offline.
The resolution is to online the resource. - novell-xtier is not able to communicate properly.
If #1 isn't the resolution, try restarting novell-xtier with "rcnovell-xregd restart" .
Cause
The 0xc7e50014 code is indicating that a "peer is unavailable". As the resource is not online, the IP address of the virtual NCP server is not responding and the peer NCP server (for the clustered resource) is unavailable.
