I am getting messages:
VCS WARNING V-16-1-17031 Notifier:activated signal 6
VCS WARNING V-16-1-17051 Notifier:Unable to connect to localhost
VCS WARNING V-16-1-17036 Notifier:SMTP error 17051
in notifier-out_A.log and VCS is not sending email notifications.
Cluster has been upgraded from 5.0 to 6.1 and I have been told that email notifications were working before the upgrade.
Notifier resource:
NotifierMngr ntfr (
SmtpServer = localhost
SmtpFromPath = test9
SmtpRecipients = { sysadm = Warning }
)I have tested email and it is working:
# telnet localhost 25 Trying 127.0.0.1... Connected to localhost. Escape character is '^]'. 220 node1.domain.com ESMTP Sendmail 8.14.5+Sun/8.14.5; Tue, 26 Aug 2014 11:44:17 +0100 (BST) HELO localhost 250 node1.domain.com Hello localhost [127.0.0.1], pleased to meet you VRFY sysadm 250 2.1.5 <sysadm@node1.domain.com> MAIL FROM: test9 250 2.1.0 test9...

Mail is in queue and gets delivered:

I have looked at technote http://www.symantec.com/docs/TECH154408 but doesn't seem relevent as I am using "localhost".
Why is notifier unable to connect to localhost - what is it trying to do - I can ping localhost and telnet to port 25 as above and sendmail is working fine.
