ANR0454E Session rejected by server X, reason: 201 - Communication Failure

Troubleshooting


Problem

The DEFINE SERVER command is used but fails with the ANR0454E error on a Tivoli Storage Manager server running on z/Linux is configured with Tivoli Storage Manager for z/OS Media.

Symptom

The Tivoli Storage Manager server activity log shows the following messages :

ANR2017I Administrator ADMIN issued command: DEFINE SERVER ZMEDIA serverpa=?***? HLA=<ip-address> LLA=1555 comm=tcpip crossdefine=yes
ANR0454E Session rejected by server ZMEDIA, reason: 201 - Communication Failure.
ANR1708I Define server for ZMEDIA failed because the crossdefine failed.

Cause

The "crossdefine=yes" parameter was specified with the DEFINE SERVER command.

Resolving The Problem

In this case, the "crossdefine=yes" parameter was specified with the DEFINE SERVER command. This is the cause of the failure. Do not specify the "crossdefine=yes" parameter with the command. For example :

DEFINE SERVER ZMEDIA serverpa=xxx HLA=<dotted-ip-address> LLA=1555


Notes :

  • The password specified with the serverpa parameter must match the password configured with the PASSPHRASE option in the TSMOPTS DD card of the z/OS Media JCL.
  • The port specified with the LLA parameter must match the TCPPORT option in the TSMOPTS DD card of the z/OS Media JCL.
  • Replace <dotted-ip-address> with the IP address of z/OS Media in its dotted decimal format.
