I have just gone through the Upgrade steps on our Linux boxes and install V8 on both. I have started dbvagent on both machines but the system seems to be trying to use SSH to connect. Normally when this happens I would just make sure dbvnet was running on both machines and it would use your connection methods and it would work. 

I have checked both machines with ./dbvagent -d status and ./dbvnet -d status and both say the agents are running and gives me the pid numbers.

I have applied the new licence key to the primary server.

If I run the following dbvctl -d LIVE -c on the Primary server I get:

Dbvisit Standby Database Technology message from ekifsrac1

Message received from process: dbvctl -d LIVE -c

(Dbvisit Standby: 8.0.04.18184 Process id: 27318)

201611281348 - Connection to ekifsrac2 failed.

No initial contact can be made or remote command cannot be run Please check network connection and review the settings:

                RSH=

                DEST_SERVER=ekifsrac2

                NETPORT=7890

                DBVISIT_BASE=/usr/dbvisit

Error connect: Connection refused

Same message if I do a dbvctl -d LIVE -i

I get the same message.

Basically any command I use and the systems try to communicate with each other fail with the above error.

Looking at the CP & RSH parameters in the env file shows them both as blank to use the default dbvnet.

Any suggestion as to what is wrong with my setup. I will upload the trc file when I can

Many thanks.
