perfSONAR User Q&A and Other Discussion

[Winnie Lacesso <>]

Happy Friday!

Our current perfsonar boxen are 32-bit because that's what was avail at 
the time. We now may have a couple 64-bit boxen. A thought is to leave the 
existing 32-bit boxen running while the 64-bit pair are installed as bw & 
lat, then shutdown the 32-bit guys & change name+IPs of the 64-bit ones to 
those registered in the GOC-DB for our site.
 
It's known that the boxname has to go into file

/opt/perfsonar_ps/mesh_config/etc/agent_configuration.conf

Altho whether the perfsonar install puts it there or a human has to, I 
forget. Other than that location, if perfsonar is installed on a machine 
with one name+IP which then changes to another name+IP, is perfsonar going 
to have squirrelled away that first name+IP in any places, making this 
switcheroo problematic?
