perfSONAR User Q&A and Other Discussion

["Pennington, Michael" <>]

On an unrelated note, I seem to have lost IPV6 testing on my Hartford perfsonar node, my other two are fine after the reboot.

 

https://perfsonar-hartford.cen.ct.gov/toolkit/

 

Nothing IPV6 shows up, even though IPV6 is setup correctly still, I can get to this box via IPV6 from the outside and also get to IPV6 resources from this box.  Not sure why they would disappear from the main toolkit page:

 

 

 

 

My Storrs box is unaffected (http://perfsonar-storrs.cen.ct.gov/toolkit/):

Sure - what's the easiest way to get this over to you?  I've rebooted all of my perfsonar boxes multiple times and it happens every time so pretty easy to reproduce with a reboot.

Hey Michael,

 

Would it be possible to get the output from when NDT is initially started during boot?

 

Cheers,

Aaron
