Description

Error Message

V-79-57344-65297 - 0xe000ff11 A communications failure has occurred

 

Cause

There is a mismatch in DNS ( /etc/resolv.conf file )

 

Resolution

1) Attempt to telnet at port 10000
  a) If there is a communication error, then disable iptables 
  b) If there is no communication error, continue with step 2 below. 

2) Uninstall the Ralus agent
3) Reinstall the agent. This will re-write the /etc/resolv.conf file with current DNS properties.

Note: It won't allow a grep of the system information during the installation of an agent 

4) Check the /etc/hosts file and compare the DNS entry with /etc/resolv.conf file.  If both are different, then enter the correct entry in resolv.conf file
