perfSONAR User Q&A and Other Discussion

[Hao Bai <>]

Hi Andrew:

Thank you for your quick reply. 

For the NTP synchronization, you mean it will be synchronized automatically as long as the service is running?

The NTP unsynchronized is shown when I start up the bwctl/owamp service as below. 

And from the setting up page below, my understanding is I need to configure hostname (domain) and interface so that I can start web interfaces.

Am I correct on this? Or it is set up as the IP address automatically, or where did I setup such information?

On either case I cannot access the web interface right now. 

Also, in my configuration file, I did not see such lines as setting up primary interface, but I guess it will be setup as eth0 at default.

Thanks.

Hi Hao:

Forwarding to the perfSONAR user list. Someone should get back to you on this.

Hi Brian:

I have a CentOS 6.7 VM, and I followed the instructions from http://docs.perfsonar.net/install_centos.html 

to install perfsonar bundles. Everything looks good until it shows ntp is not synchronized. 

Could you provide some more details on this?

You may just need to be patient on this. NTP can take several hours to synchronize so its not uncommon when the host first comes-up for it to be unsynchronized. 

Also, since most of perfsonar document of toolkit configuration is based on full perfsonar iso installation,

could you provide me some more information on setting up host server and web interfaces?

I set up an hosstname (an IP based) in /etc/perfsonar/lsregistrationdaemon.conf, but the web interface still cannot be accessed.

Since lsregistrationdaemon.conf is not updated here (the document is not the same as the one I have here), I am not sure whether I did it right or not.

I apologize, I am not following these questions. Are you trying to manually edit /etc/perfsonar/lsregistrationdaemon.conf through a text editor? what information are you trying to add (it should detect most things automatically with no edits)? are you also having issues with the web interface? Sorry I am not following but hopefully with a little clarification i can help with your questions. 

Thanks in advance.
