Verisioned WPAR and network access

    Hello,

    I've created a 5.3 WPAR from a mksysb.

    The install and startup are all fine.

    I can clogin to the wpar and I from there I can ping another LPAR (not the Global LPAR)in the same subnet and I can ping the default gateway too.

    I can also telnet from my wpar in to my other LPAR.

    From my other LPAR, which is on the same physical Power 7+ system and in the same VLAN, I can ping the wpar IP address but I cannot telnet in to it. I get:

    Trying...
    telnet: connect: Connection refused

     

    Telnet is the main method of connection to the physical AIX 5.3 system so I need to be able to get to this WPAR via telnet too.

    Any ideas why I can ping but cannot telnet in to the WPAR? Everything is telling me my networking config is good.

     

    Thanks

    Glenn

    Can you telnet from the WPAR itself back to the WPAR?  Is SSH installed?

    Agreed. If you can ping the WPAR you have basic network connectivity. If you can't telnet in, it's most likely the telnet daemon is not running. (Actually, telnet is accessed via the inetd daemon so you need to check your /etc/inetd.conf file.)

    Check the output of netstat -a | grep telnet. It should read:

    tcp        0      0  *.telnet               *.*                    LISTEN
