perfSONAR User Q&A and Other Discussion

[Andrew Lake <>]

Hi George,

Sorry for the delay. It’s an odd error message that probably needs to be handled better, but it looks like that might occur if there is something funny with the addresses in the host objects or your mesh JSON file. Could you send me the mesh JSON (either the URL if public, or copy/paste in a file if not) and tell me the address of the host giving you trouble so I know what parts of the mesh it is trying to look at? I’ll be looking for things like the same address being used on two hosts or anything else out of place with the host objects in that file.

Thanks,

Andy

Hi,

I’m still receiving a “Can’t call bind_maps” error on some of my perfsonar test nodes post-ps4.0 auto update.  I resolved the error in the email below (Friday, April 14) by upgrading my central mesh configuration server to pS 4.0 and then restarting services.  This worked on some, but not all of my pS test nodes and I still get an error message similar to this one:

2017/04/20 09:48:08 (9427) ERROR> Agent.pm:420 perfSONAR_PS::MeshConfig::Agent::__configure_host - Problem adding tasks: Problem adding test ESDIS IPv4 BWCTL Test controlled: Can't call method "bind_maps" without a package or object reference at /usr/lib/perfsonar/bin/../lib/perfSONAR_PS/MeshConfig/Generators/perfSONARRegularTesting.pm line 405.

Thanks,

George

Subject: Re: [perfsonar-user] Perfsonar 4 adding to Mesh

Hello,

On another tangental issue with adding a pS 4.0rc3 testpoint node to a mesh, I swapped out an “a_member" pS 3.5 node for a pS 4.0 node inside a disjoint test group.  When I restarted the meshconfig-agent service on the pS 4.0 node, my meshconfig task file had no tests defined and /var/log/meshconfig-agent.log contained the following error:

2017/04/14 15:51:40 (27786) ERROR> Agent.pm:420 perfSONAR_PS::MeshConfig::Agent::__configure_host - Problem adding tasks: Problem adding test TCP BWCTL Test Between Europe and EBNet: Can't call method "bind_maps" without a package or object reference at /usr/lib/perfsonar/bin/../lib/perfSONAR_PS/MeshConfig/Generators/perfSONARRegularTesting.pm line 405.

I’m using a central mesh config server that was built using ps3.5 packages.  I’d prefer not to reveal specific details about the mesh config on the group list but I can provide to individuals if needed for further analysis. 

Thanks,

George

Subject: [perfsonar-user] Perfsonar 4 adding to Mesh

Hi,

 

I’m trying to run two nodes, one is running perfsonar 4.0 the other 3.5.

But it looks the node on 4.0 is giving out errors when trying to add to mesh.

 

 

Here are the logs.

 

From the meshconfig-agent log I’m getting:

 

This is the pschedular.log

 

Are you able to help?

 

 

Thanks
