One of my CV client backups started failing.  When I checked the ports from the CS\MA port 8401 is refusing to connect.  On the client side is exhibiting the same problem with port 8401 communication failure.  I was informed by one of my teammates that a certificate issue on the client side can cause this type of behavior.  If this is true, how can I resolve this and is there a document that would explain a certificate issue?

 

Thanks. 

Definitely possible.  If you run Check Readiness against the client, what’s the result?

Here’s an overview of the Check Readiness report:

You can also try to renew the client certiifcate which, if that’s the issue, will help:

8401 is used for the GUI console. 

8400 is CVD and 8403 is CVFWD which are the default ports in v11.

If you are having a certificate issue, you’ll see related errors in CVD.log on the client.


The client certificate status is revoked.  I have not renewed it yet but I will update you on the status after I do.  Thank you all for your feedback.
