Endpoint Protection

I am trying to do replication, while trying to add the replication partner using the Management Server Configuration Wizard,  get  the error Unable to connect to the server specified after some time.

i am able to ping the server and also port 8443 , 9090 . 8014 are open on  both the sides

"Unable to connect to the server specified" error during the replication of Symantec Endpoint Protection Manager

Changed the JVM but still getting the error

how did you install sepm on the second server?
is it windows 2008 or 3? what database did you choose?

Try the following steps

1. In the main SEPM, go to Start > Run > cmd, click Ok
2. In the command prompt execute netstat - abn
3. Check that SemSvc.exe is not listening in the default port (TCP 8443)
4. Go to the SEPM installation folder c:\Program Files\Symantec\Symantec Endpoint Protection Manager\tomcat\conf
5. Open the server.xml file and take note of the last port mentioned in the file (default is 8443).

<Server debug ...>
                ...
                 <Service name=...>
<Connector acceptCount ... minProcessors="5" port="8443" scheme=" ...>

6. Execute again steps 1. and 2. and assure that SemSvc.exe is in Listening state in the port which is configured in the server.xml (step 5.)
7. Run the "Add additional Symantec Site" installation wizard with the port found in the server.xml file

2k3  and sql sp2

Follwed it same result, it runs for some time and then it fails

Whether both serves are present in LAN?If it is in WAN what is the bandwidth?

Yes they are in LAN , the other server is across the road in a diffrent building in the same IT park

If it is failing after some time then II think  bandwidth may be a conecrn. I have seen replication failing beacuse of low bandwidth.
What is the bandwidth?
If it is less then for the first time you can follow this and from the next time they would replicate accodingly
