Siebel: Unable to connect to the gateway server SBL-GEN-05009

Trying to install Siebel 8.2.2 on Linux 6 (64 bit) eh?

Scenario 1: Running the Configuration Wizard and it fails with error 5009… something like:

OR

Scenario 2: AFTER running the configuration wizard and trying to configure a gateway name server you get “Unable to connect to Siebel Gateway Name Server”…

Things to check:

  • Typically /etc/host.conf has ‘multi on’ option set. Try overriding this variable in your session prior to running the config wizard

    export RESOLV_MULTI=off

    Note: make sure to use port # lower than 32767

  • Remove any of the existing following files from gtwysrvr/sys

    siebns*
    svc.gtwyns*
  • And this time (if you didn’t do this the first time), run the config with the “-verbose” option so you can see more wonderful errors if they come up
