I have a sap server installed on HP-UX vm, up and running. when I try to connect to the server from SAP client GUI installed on windows machine I get the following error

---------------------------
SAP GUI for Windows 730
---------------------------
partner '15.213.245.61:sapdp00' not reached

Time        Thu Dec 11 02:59:48 2014
Component   NI (network interface)
Release     730
Version     40
Module      nixxi.cpp
Line        3286
Method      NiPConnect2: 15.213.245.61:3200
Return Code -10
System Call connect
Error   No  10061
Error   Text    WSAECONNREFUSED: Connection refused
Counter     1

---------------------------
OK   
---------------------------

I looked through and found out that the hp-ux server port 3200 was inaccessible.

the /etc/services file contains an entry 

sapdp00   3200/tcp

but in /etc/inetd.config file no corresponding entry is present.

so to test whether this is the root cause, I edited the /etc/inetd.conf file, added following entry

sapdp00  stream tcp nowait root testservice.sh TEST

and did a inetd -c

this time when I tried to connect from the sap gui client on windows I got a different error,

---------------------------
SAP GUI for Windows 730

connection to partner '15.213.245.61:sapdp00' broken

System Call recv

Error   Text    WSAECONNABORTED: Software caused connection abort

---------------------------
OK   
---------------------------

while the earlier error indicated connection refused, this one indicated that a connection was established and then aborted.( maybe due to improper entry against services path in inetd.conf file)

I think that if I can provide a proper path for sapdp00 service in the entry to the location where the actual service exists then maybe this error would be eliminated. my questions.. is this diagnosis correct? if yes, shouldn't the entry in inetd.conf file should have been made automatically during sap installation process? why not..? how to find the correct path for sapdp00 service?

kindly advise,

EDIT- not sure about this but found three processes running 

# ps -ex | grep sap
 18132 pts/0     0:00 grep sap
 10885 ?         0:00 /usr/sap/E64/DVEBMGS00/exe/sapstartsrv pf=/usr/sap/E64/SYS/profile/START_DVEBMGS00_hpvm-202 -D -u e64adm
 13214 ?         0:10 /usr/sap/E64/SYS/exe/run/saposcol
 11059 ?         0:00 /usr/sap/E64/D01/exe/sapstartsrv pf=/usr/sap/E64/SYS/profile/START_D01_hpvm-202 -D -u e64adm

can any one of the paths be used..I am not sure which service is mapped with sapdp00...

My troubleshoot steps are:

  1. Install SAP GUI locally inside the guest VMware that the SAP server is running and test connection to local host
  2. Install SAP GUI in the host that the VMware is running and try connection to localhost or same IP
  3. Install SAP GUI in the vlan to be sure routing and port forwarding is working good with NAT configuration and client/remote access configuration.

It is necessary to verify if you: a-set up the loopback network interface correctly and be sure you added an entry to hosts file of the server: 

192.168.25.25 SAPECC60

b-be sure in SAP MMC (management console) you have successfully started the SAP services and all servers look green c-firewall is allowing TCP for port range 3200-3299 to be passed in the server d-the NAT includes at a minimum the two ports 3200 and 3299 (not necessarily the full range is needed to be declared one by one in the nat config of VMware app)

Other than that, the full installation of the SAP must be reviewed and it will be necessary to discuss in more details. if you need extra help, please let me know.
