perfSONAR User Q&A and Other Discussion

["Hoover, Christopher" <>]

Andrew, we seem to have resolved the reverse DNS issue this morning by adding 
"primary_interface       eth0" to 
/opt/perfsonar_ps/toolkit/web/root/gui/services/etc/web_admin.conf and " 
external_address_if_name eth0" to 
/opt/perfsonar_ps/ls_registration_daemon/etc/ls_registration_daemon.conf. It 
now consistently reports perfsonar3.usd.edu as Primary Address, and we're 
able to have both interfaces up with testing addresses for both of them being 
presented under BWCTL, etc.

However, "Globally registered" has been reporting "Unknown" since before 
that, and we no longer appear on the Global Services page. The final line of 
/var/log/perfsonar/ls_registration_daemon.log is:

2014/11/03 10:14:08 (2072) ERROR> Base.pm:304 
perfSONAR_PS::LSRegistrationDaemon::Base::register - Problem registering 
service. Will retry full registration next time: 500 Can't connect to 
ndb1.internet2.edu:8090 (connect: Network is unreachable)

It was also unable to ping ndb1.internet2.edu, so since the IPs for both 
interfaces are in the same subnet, I suspected a routing issue and  disabled 
eth2 (kusdshop1.pbs.usd.edu). This put "Globally registered" to "No," at 
least. 

Then, after rebooting, "Globally registered" returned to "Unknown" and we're 
still not on Global Services, but there are no new errors in 
/var/log/perfsonar/ls_registration_daemon.log.

So, after all of the above, we still aren't correctly able to have two 
interfaces up (though now apparently due to a possible routing issue), and we 
still seem not to be correctly registering.

Hi Randy,

Sorry for the delay on this. My guess would be it has to do with the reverse 
DNS on the host mapping to a name other than the one shown on the web page. 
Looking at the Global Services page I find it registered as 
kusdshop1.pbs.usd.edu (the name in reverse DNS) but the toolkit is looking 
for it as perfsonar3.usd.edu. In theory it should be registered under the 
same name as the one displayed. Do you know of there were any manual 
modifications made to 
"/opt/perfsonar_ps/toolkit/web/root/gui/services/etc/web_admin.conf" or 
"/opt/perfsonar_ps/ls_registration_daemon/etc/ls_registration_daemon.conf"?

Thanks,
Andy
