the remote device or resource won't accept the connection -CIMC

[Joseph Udeh]

Hi,

I was trying to access remotely CIMC via web browser but getting error message "the connection was refused by the target device"

I was able to access similar device in thesame location but won't for this particular device.

Further diagnosis with internet explorer came up with reason "the remote device or resource won't accept the connection"

Any idea please?

Thanks

Hi Jospeh,

Is the host online right now? Are you able to ping the CIMC server? If you are able to ping the CIMC server but unable to login via the GUI or SSH  you may be hitting the following bug;

Thanks Qiese.

You hit the nail on the head. The bug description matches my case. I will visit site tomorrow to physically power cycle the server.

Thanks for your quick response.
