OLE/DB provider returned message: Deferred prepare could not be completed

I have 2 SQL servers. And in the first one I have added the second SQL as a Link Server. When I run an SQL statement on the linked server I get the following message.

Server: Msg 7202, Level 11, State 1, Line 1
Could not find server 'PROD' in sysservers. Execute sp_addlinkedserver to add the server to sysservers.
[OLE/DB provider returned message: Deferred prepare could not be completed.]

The SQL statement that I am runnins is

Select * from openquery(PROD,'Select * from PROD.GMS.dbo.qryDispCL')

But when I run only the SQL statement "Select * from PROD.GMS.dbo.qryDispCL" it works perfect. But I need to have the first statement running.

Please help. Your valuable feedback is greatly appriciated.

It's really strange... You can run this to check registered server:

EXEC sp_helpservers

If the server 'PROD' is not in the result, then run this to add it:

EXEC sp_addlinkedserver 'PROD'

Note: you may need to add login information for the 'PROD' server with 'sp_addlinkedsrvlogin'.
