<h1 class="topictitle1">Verify the connection function</h1>
<div><p>The Verify Connection function that is located under Management
Central is different from the Verify Connection function that is located under
My Connection. This topic discuss the purpose of each function and how they
differ from each other.</p>
<div class="section"><h4 class="sectiontitle">Verify Connection from My Connection</h4><p> <span class="menucascade"><span class="uicontrol">My Connections</span> &gt; <span class="uicontrol">Right-click a server</span> &gt; <span class="uicontrol">Diagnostics</span> &gt; <span class="uicontrol">Verify Connection</span></span></p>
<p>This Verify Connection function pings the different host
servers to see if they are up and running correctly and can be reached from
the PC. Since it is restricted to single system Navigator functions, it is
one of the first things you should rule out when you are troubleshooting a
Management Central connection failure. (Many Management Central functions
build on the single system functions.) After you have confirmed that the connection
to the endpoint systems, under My Connections is successful, then you can
proceed to verify the connection from Management Central.</p>
</div>
<div class="section"><h4 class="sectiontitle">Verify Connection from Management Central</h4><p><span class="menucascade"><span class="uicontrol">Right-click Management Central</span> &gt; <span class="uicontrol">Verify Connection</span></span></p>
<p>The Verify Connection function from the Management Central
container is a diagnostic tool that checks the most common factors that can
cause a failed connection. It then displays the status of these tests. If
it reports any failures, you can obtain specific information about the failure
as well as recovery information by clicking <span class="uicontrol">Details</span>.
The following is a list of what Management Central verifies.</p>
<ul><li>The Java™ setup is correct on the Central System (This includes
verifying that certain .jar files are present, and that certain integrated
file system file and folder authorities have not been changed </li>
<li>The required files that were shipped with the operating system have not
been deleted from the Central System, are not damaged, and are being journaled</li>
<li>The TCP/IP configuration on the Central System is valid (This includes
verifying that the host name of both the Central System and the PC are in
the host tables or in the DNS as appropriate</li>
<li>That a simple Navigator connection can be made to the Central System </li>
<li>The VRM, host name, the IP address of the Central system, and the VRM
of iSeries™ Navigator </li>
<li>That the ports that Management Central uses are not in use by another
application on the central system </li>
<li>That on the central system, the user profiles that are needed to run Management
Central have not been deleted, or disabled and that they have valid, unexpired
passwords. </li>
<li>That if SSL is being used on the central system, it is configured correctly
and that both the PC and central system are using SSL. </li>
<li>That the central system isn't marked as a "secondary system" in an Management
Central High Availability environment (Secondary systems cannot be used as
central systems.)</li>
<li>That the Management Central servers are up and running on the central
system </li>
<li>It reports what types of authentication are supported on the central system</li>
</ul>
<div class="note"><span class="notetitle">Note:</span> <p>iSeries Navigator
uses the Java toolbox code on the client side (PC) to start the
Management Central Verify Connection function. If the toolbox code is not
working correctly then the Verify Connection function will not start. If the Java Virtual
Machine (JVM) or the toolbox code on the server side is not working correctly,
the Verify Connection function will work until the last few checks. The JVM
must start before these last few checks can be performed.</p>
