Connection Manager fails w/network error -25572

Hello All, I have an enterprise replication environment with a primary machine and a backup machine. I am trying to use the connection manager in order implement failover in a flexible grid, but I cannot establish communications from the connection manager machine to the other machine. I have tried starting oncmsm from both the primary machine and the backup machine (not at the same time), but get the same error either way (i.e., the primary cannot access the backup, or the backup cannot access the primary). The connection manager log shows the following: Cannot start listener <sla name>, network error -25572 I have verified the the port number is not in use, and I have tried using different port numbers. I have also tried with and without using the passwd_file.

The connection manage config file indicates that the CM will have two listener threads, one for each of the SLAs. But your sqlhost file indicates that those two listener threads are on differing machines. = The machine for the SLA listener thread must be on the same machine that t= he CM is running on.
