[LDM #FDF-961547]: No data from the upgraded LDM server

The relevant hostnames and IP addresses are:

    awips.cira.colostate.edu   129.82.109.147
    awips1.cira.colostate.edu  129.82.109.124
    awips72.cira.colostate.edu 129.82.109.135

The downstream LDM log file on Awips72 contained lines like this:

    Mar 06 23:50:49 awips72 awips.cira.colostate.edu[6805] NOTE: LDM-6 desired 
product-class: 20140306225049.183 TS_ENDT {{EXP,  "CIRA.AWIPS.WC.ABIWRFWV.*"}} 
    Mar 06 23:50:49 awips72 awips.cira.colostate.edu[6805] ERROR: Disconnecting 
due to LDM failure; Couldn't connect to LDM on awips.cira.colostate.edu using 
either port 388 or portmapper;: RPC: Program not registered

This indicates that Awips72's LDM couldn't connect to Awips' LDM -- probably 
because it's not allowed, either by firewall rules or by not matching an ALLOW 
entry in Awips' LDM configuration-file.

netstat(1) on Awips1 printed lines like this:

    [root@awips1 ~]# netstat -A inet -t -n | grep 388
    tcp        0      0 129.82.109.124:35203        129.82.109.147:388          
ESTABLISHED 
    ...

Unfortunately, this information isn't relevant because host Awips72 isn't 
mentioned.

I recommend checking the LDM log file on Awips for relevant entries regarding 
Awips72 (there might not be any) and verifying that the LDM configuration file 
on Awips has an ALLOW entry that authorizes connections from Awips72. If both 
of these indicate that Awips72 should be able to connect, then I would check 
your firewall rules (IP tables?) to ensure that Awips72 isn't blocked from 
connecting.

Incidentally, you can use the notifyme(1) utility of the LDM package to check 
authorization by executing the following command on Awips72:

    notifyme -vl- -h awips.cira.colostate.edu
