Error description
Connection to a remote dsrpc daemon through dsjob fails with error messages like: ERROR: Failed to open project Status code = 81016 This occurs with dsrpcd running and no firewall between the two server systems that would prevent a socket connection to the port used by dsrpcd (typcially 31538); connection to the server via DataStage clients, for example, works fine. The problem is caused by connect() with an incorrect socket. To test this issue, add an IPv6 address and alias to /etc/hosts and then try: dsjob -domain NONE -user xx -password xx -server alias -lprojects This should fail with either 81011 or 81016.
Local fix
This fix is included in 8.0.1 fixpack 3
