perfSONAR User Q&A and Other Discussion

[Hao Bai <>]

Hi Szymon:

Thank you for your reply. 

I believe I installed all the perfsonar bundles, including testpoint, core and toolkit, just not through netinstall or fullinstall.

The reason I did this, is the VM I was using is from other department and a basic centOS 6.7 is pre-installed.

I am wondering now, if the full/net install will have some steps setting up hostname or it is setup automatically.

I did not see such steps from either http://docs.perfsonar.net/install_centos_fullinstall.html or http://docs.perfsonar.net/install_config_first_time.html.

Thanks.

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.

Yes, you may have to wait a bit after NTP synchronizes properly your host and that's why you got the warning. You may see the results with ntpq -p command.

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.

Which bundle did you install? The Web interface is included in perfsonar-toolkit bundle. See http://www.perfsonar.net/about/where-can-it-be-downloaded/
You will not be able to access it if it wasn't installed.

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.

I think it would be much easier for you to start from scratch if possible and simply install perfsonar-toolkit bundle. You should then get everything you expect.

Is there any particular reason you didn't use the full or netinstall option?

Regards,
