I have two NetApp Filers that are part of a cluster (Version 7.1.3).

I'm able to connect to one of the filers via RSH fine, but the second filer is failing with this error:

[rshd_0:info]: couldn't connect second port

I've rebooted the filer and checked the settings. The routing table looks to be corrupted but I can't tell if this would case this problem:

192.91           link#2             UC          0        0  e4
192.91.107.1     link#2             UHL         1        0  e4

Is the routing table related to RSH failing or is there something else I could check in the settings?

That's not a corrupted routing table, don't worry about it. Because of the way CIDR works, 192.91 is the same as 192.91.0.0 - you can check for basic connectivity via e.g. ping. If you can ping it, it's fine.

More likely, rsh is turned off on your filer - that's considered a good thing, as rsh is an old and insecure protocol.

Check options rsh and see what rsh.access and rsh.enable are set to.

But consider actually just stopping using rsh entirely, and switch to ssh - with public-private key pairs - for filer admin tasks like this.
