Why does the Deployer fail to deploy configuration bundle to search head cluster members, even with matching pass4SymmKey values?

[murikadan]

Due to this error:

Error while deploying apps to first member: ConfDeploymentException: Error while fetching apps baseline on target=http://[ip of the search head]:8089: Network-layer error: Connection reset by peer

Network connectivity is present though, as telnet ip of the search head at 8089 is successful.

Any ideas folks ?

Should have mentioned this in the description itself, but same security key is being used by the search heads and the deployer, so the problem is not because of that.

That error is referenced in the docs on this page:

http://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Splunk/6.2.0/DistSearch/PropagateSHCconfigurationchanges#Set_a_...

It mentions mismatched pass4SymmKey value between the Cluster Members and the Deployer. You may want to confirm that. Let me know what you find.

@jcrabb - Security key is a match. Same security key is being set while provisioning the deployer and search heads.

Which version of Splunk is this?
