Maestro Madness
I was working on preparing a guide for one of my clients and decided to run this script for verification of the fwm after migrate export.
To my surprise, the results were:
[Expert@SMS8010:0]# date; $FWDIR/scripts/server_status.sh

Checking server status. Please wait...
15:40:18,423 INFO com.checkpoint.management.cpm.Cpm.enableLocalSic:223 [main] - Enabling local sic. Setting cp.ssl_local.certificate.check=local
Server is up - but not ready to receive connections (fwm might be down or busy)
[Expert@SMS8010:0]#
When I clearly able to connect to it using SmartConsole:

While script keeps showing:

I wasn't even aware of that script ![]()
It looks like it's running some sort of Java program to determine reachability and it's returning a specific error code.
My initial thought would be to open a TAC ticket.
Since I've encountered it in my lab setup and it does not affect me that much, I am hesitant to devout much time to it.
If it is in your power to do so, can you may be kick it to R&D: I suspect that this issue may be related to the SmartConsole's monitoring issues that were described in quite a few other posts.
The symptoms included indications of the loss of SIC, while it was working, incorrect ClusterXL member status, etc..
Possible all those issues are related.
These issues aren't related. This script prints various info statuses. Just because a line that says "SIC was successful" appears right before the line which you encounter as a false-positive "not ready to receive connections", doesn't indicate correlation.
I would suggest using the much simpler $FWDIR/scripts/cpm_status.sh
Thanks Tomer. I'll try the $FWDIR/scripts/cpm_status.sh, but can you tell me if anyone was able to shed the light on why the $FWDIR/scripts/server_status.sh was showing "not ready to accept connections?"
What do you get from `cpwd_admin list` exactly?
