Hi,

You need to have TCP port 861 open and UDP ports 8760-9960.

Thanks,

Andy

Hi Andy and others,

Another thing that we are testing is using Garmin GPS in this lab. We are going to check it it works installing in hardware and virtual hosts, and after we are going to create a doc with the results.

Regards,

Assunto: Re: [perfsonar-user] Problem running owamp powstream on CentOS

Hi Andy,

It was a firewall problem. When I drop the firewall it starts to work in both ends (iptables -F). What rule should I put in firewall to make it work?

Regards,

Hi Murilo,

What happens when you run “owping -S 200.237.196.43 200.237.196.45” from the command line of the CentOS host? Looks like pscheduler is correctly starting the powstream process but once its launched the OWAMP test is not working. The way powstream works is it get launched and then spawns two child processes that actually run the tests (hence the 3 processes for the same test on your working Debian host). The fact that CentOS is only showing one confirms its getting launched but for some reason the child processes are not getting created. Lots of time its just firewall issues, but the owping should give you a better idea hopefully. You can also try looking in /var/log/pscheduler/pscheduler.log for any references to powstream in error messages.

Thanks,

Andy

Hi list,

I am running a lab here in RNP, using 4 perfsonar nodes, 2 with CentOS and 2 with Debian.

I scheduled 2 meshes, one with CentOS hosts and another with Debian hosts, running powstream tests and iperf3 tcp tests.

All is working, except the powstream tests between CentOS. I couldn't figure out what could be.

When I check powstream process on CentOS, it appears like this:

# ps aux | grep pow

When I check powstream process on Debian, it appears like this:

# ps aux | grep pow
pschedu+  5596  0.0  0.2 128864 42712 ?        S    Aug10   0:20 /usr/bin/python /usr/lib/pscheduler/commands/../classes/tool/powstream/run

root     15556  0.0  0.0  12728  2220 pts/0    S+   11:09   0:00 grep pow

I install in this hosts the "perfsonar-testpoint" packages.

In CentOS when I run pscheduler monitor it shows like this:

2017-08-11T11:00:01-03:00 Running      latencybg --dest 200.237.196.45 --packet-padding 0 --source 200.237.196.43 --packet-interval +

On Debian hosts it is running as expected.

Do you have any clue about this problem?

Regards,
