Error invalid form factor while starting OHS server using opmnctl

Hi all,

I was trying to start the OHS server using opmnctl and it threw the error shown below.

Communication error with the OPMN server local port.
Check the OPMN log files

Also, opmn.log shows error as shown below.

[2010-04-21T11:55:19][opmn][ERROR:1][60][OPMN][code:ons-connect]Local connection 39,127.0.0.1,6700 invalid form factor
Pid=3904:opmn-client; Home=E:\Oracle\Middleware\asinst_3
[2010-04-21T11:55:25][opmn][ERROR:1][60][OPMN][code:ons-connect]Local connection 3a,127.0.0.1,6700 invalid form factor
Pid=1092:opmn-client; Home=E:\Oracle\Middleware\asinst_3

In fact, there are multiple OHS servers present on the machine and all servers seem to take same default port.

So I traversed to the opmn location of both OHS servers and took the opmn.xml and compared it. It resulted that the port specified in the below tag are same.

<port local=”6700″ remote=”6701″/>

Hence, we need to change these for every OHS component as shown below.

For 1st OHS server say:  <port local=”6700″ remote=”6701″/>

For 2nd OHS server say: <port local=”6704″ remote=”6705″/>

It should work fine now while starting OHS.

I really wonder this issue is specific to windows environment and not linux.
