perfSONAR User Q&A and Other Discussion

[Antoine Delvaux <>]

Hi Dale,

If your host appears in the Services Directory 
http://stats.es.net/ServicesDirectory it actually is correctly registered.

An issue with the message "Globally registered: No" sometimes show when there 
is a discrepancy between the reverse DNS record for your host and the 
hostname that is registered with in the Services Directory.

This may also happen if your host is using multiple interfaces and that 
perfSONAR cannot reliably decide which interface is the primary.

Can you tell us which server we're talking about?

Thank you,

Antoine.
