Dear pS-developers,

 

I have the following case on pS toolkit 3.4.1 boxes with multiple interfaces:

Independent of this, i recommend you upgrade to 3.4.2.

 

I am trying to register the services designated for specific interfaces with the LS client, but it totally disregards the config I am applying. Please see the attachements.

I have tried this https://code.google.com/p/perfsonar-ps/source/browse/perfSONAR_PS-LSRegistrationDaemon/etc/ls_registration_daemon.conf?name=3.4

For future reference, look at https://github.com/perfsonar/ls-registration-daemon. The Google Code site is no longer used. 

 and the

What is worse and this can be seen on the “Lookup Service Directory” portal that some boxes gets registered with the primary interface, some with the secondary and there is no obvious reason behind selecting one or the other as primary interface. Some appear with –owd- in their names, others with –bw-. Please there is no need for explanations here. I just need to configure that and not rely on the system’s choice.

Please note that I have tried with and without the external_interface configuration lines.

 

Could you please assist me in getting it right, so that I am able to define the interfaces for the different types of measurements separately?

I would like also to be able to define a third interface for the web interface of the system or the one that the system gets registered with for access.

 

I would also be happy, if you just point me to the relevant documentation about it.

You can definitely remove external_address and external_address_if_name. Also try re-formatting the service_templates section as follows:

<service_template local_latency_service>

        primary_address          em1

        autodiscover_addresses   1

</service_template>

<service_template local_bandwidth_service>

    primary_address          p1p1

    autodiscover_addresses   1

</service_template>

<service_template local_web_service>

    primary_address          p1p1

    autodiscover_addresses   1

</service_template>

Note that none of the above will change what is displayed on your main toolkit page. It will change what is registered in the lookup service though and what people can ultimately see here: http://stats.es.net/ServicesDirectory/. It may take a few hours for this page to update as well. 

Thanks,

Andy

 

Best regards,
