POA Fails to Respond
to MTP Configuration Changes in ConsoleOne
Problem:
You change a POA link configuration or network address setting
in ConsoleOne, but the POA does not respond to the change. For example,
you change from a mapped or UNC link to a TCP/IP link between
the POA and the MTA, or you move the POA to a different server and
change its IP address. If the configuration change does not replicate
successfully to the post office database, the MTA link to the post
office becomes closed.
Action:
If you do not want to stop and restart the POA to open a closed
post office link, change the configuration information back to what
it was before you tried to change it. The MTA should then be able
to open the post office link again. After communication between
the POA and MTA is re-established, make the configuration changes
again. Wait for the configuration changes to be replicated to the
post office database (wphost.db),
then start the POA in its new location. Action:
Stop the POA, then start the POA using the /mtpinipaddr and /mtpinport switches
to specify the new IP address and port the POA should use for Message
Transfer Protocol (MTP) communication with the MTA. After the link
is established and all administrative messages have been processed,
you do not need to use these startup switches again.
