# Unable to connect to the remote system.

## Explanation:

The ServeRAID Manager could not communicate with the ServeRAID Manager agent on the remote system.

## Action:

1. Verify that the ServeRAID Manager agent or console is running on the remote system.
2. Verify that the port number specified for the remote system in the "Add remote system" window matches the value on the remote system. You can verify the port number on the remote system by viewing the agent.startupPortNum value in the RaidAgnt.pps file for the ServeRAID Manager running on that system. The default port numbers for remote access are 34571-34574.
3. Verify the following:
   1. The remote system is on.
   2. Both the local and remote systems are connected to the network.
   3. TCP/IP networking support is configured on both the local and remote systems.
   4. The host name of the remote system is defined in the Domain Name Server or a Hosts file, if you are trying to connect using a host name.
   5. The network is functioning.
