perfSONAR User Q&A and Other Discussion

["Buraglio, Nicholas D" <>]

I have a perfSonar node that had been working from the liveCD for weeks, 
doing a bit of everything for a while, but primarily as a throughput node.  
It recently had a 10G interface installed (eth2) and was migrated to that as 
it's only live interface.  About a week ago, we noticed that the throughput 
testing had stopped and that the box wouldn't restart the throughput services 
(bwctl and  perfSONAR-BUOY for throughput).  I didn't see anything regarding 
those processes in the logs and thought that maybe it was an artifact of a 
lot of us in the box tweaking it and it having had pretty much everything 
turned on; it was our first test deployment so it got a lot of attention and 
a lot of changes were made.  
I took this as an opportunity to install to disk and rebuild it.  Even after 
a fresh install I can't seem to get it back to it's state of throughput 
testing.   perfSONAR-BUOY fails to start pretty reliably.  Basically I'm 
looking for some insight into where to look for the problem as far as logs or 
the like, or if I've just become a victim of user error.  
The host in question is perfsonar.ix.ui-iccn.org and it's got a pretty 
vanilla install of 3.2 with only one throughput test set up.  
Any insight is appreciated.  Thanks!
