Lotus Domino Administrator 8.5 Help - Replication isn't occurring between two servers

TROUBLESHOOTING

Replication isn't occurring between two servers
When two servers can't replicate any of the databases between them, these messages may appear in the log:

"Unable to replicate with server x: Server Not Responding"
"Unable to replicate with server x: The Notes server is not a known TCP/IP Host"
"Unable to replicate with server x: Your address book does not contain any cross certificates capable of authenticating the server"
"Unable to replicate with server x: The server's address book does not contain any cross certificates capable of authenticating you"
"Unable to replicate with server x: You are not authorized to use the server or remote server"

Check for the following conditions and correct them, if necessary:

1. Create Connection documents that list Replication in the Tasks field. Unless you enable multiple replicators on the server, make sure that replication schedules don't overlap.

2. Verify that the servers have a certificate in common. To verify certificates, check the server ID files.

From the Domino Administrator, click the People and Groups tab.
From the tool bar, click Certification - ID file.
Choose the appropriate server ID file and click Open.
Click Certificates to display the certificates held by the server.
Repeat Steps a through d for the second server.
Recertify one or both server IDs, as necessary. If the servers don't have a certificate in common, you can also cross-certify them.

3. Make sure the server is available. Check the log for the message "Unable to replicate with server x : Server not responding," which indicates that one server can't connect to another server for replication or that server x is unavailable.

4. Check the Miscellaneous Events view of the log to see if a network error message occurred when the server attempted to connect to the other server.
