How to verify or test GWDVA connectivity or communication issues
Resolution
The following will help identify if the GWDVA is listening and is able to receive inbound connections:
- From a terminal window, enter the following on the new server with WebAccess and the new DVA local:
grep -i dva /var/opt/novell/groupwise/webaccess/webacc.cfg - Something like the following should appear:
# Specify the IP address and Port number of the default DVA.
Provider.DVA.1.ip=serverAddress.com
Provider.DVA.1.port=8301 - Verify you are able to telnet to whatever is provided in that cfg file:
telnet <ipAddress> <port> - Verify that the DVA agent is actually listening on that port:
netstat ltpn | grep -i <port>
