Probably a stale lockfile somewhere in /var/lock/subsys . Try
'/etc/init.d/gmond zap' and then restart it.

Thank you all for your help. It is working now, but of course I'm trying to
make one more tweak to get it exactly as we want it. So I'm not sure if the
following can be done.
I am trying to get the headnode and other servers to show up in the server
group, but since the headnode is running gmetad when I try to launch gmond I
get a error message: gmond dead subsys locked.
I'm not sure what that means. Basically the server group doesn't show up in
ganglia like all the other groups.

Subject: RE: [Ganglia-general] Multiple clusters single gmetad
Hi:
You would only need to list them ALL for redundancy - if you only list
one node in the data_source, then if that node dies for whatever reason
then gmetad will not be able to collect data from that subcluster. So I
guess having at least 2 nodes is good for a large subcluster.
I don't think anybody in their right mind would list all 1000 nodes in
data_source ;-)
Good luck.
Cheers,
Bernard

Ah that makes sense.
But if I'm running gmond on each node in the subcluster do I
need to specify each of them as datasources? I'm not sure
that makes sense especially if I have 1000 nodes each running
gmond. I know I'm missing something here and I appreciate
all your continued help.

Hi Scott:
The different ip addresses showing in gmetad.conf is not the
ip address of the server running gmetad but instead one of
the node (the headnode of that subgroup, if you may), which
runs gmond.
Check the syntax of the data_source tag, the ip/hostname
listed there refers to one or all the nodes in that
subgroup/datasource.
Cheers,
Bernard

How does that work with the gmetad having 3 different IP
addresses?
My goal was to have one server running gmetad, rrd, and
apache. Do I
have to have gmetad running on another system to break my
cluster into
sub-clusters?
Thanks for the earlier reply. I appreciate it.

I've successfully setup ganglia (thanks to everyone on this
list), but now I want to try and break out our cluster into smaller
sub clusters.
1) Production Nodes
2) Remote Nodes
3) Test Nodes
I'm trying to do all this with one server running gmetad
for all the nodes in the cluster regardless of their
different status.
Is this even possible?
I've been playing with different multicast addresses and
xml addresses and haven't had much success. Has anyone ever tried
this before?
Yes, this is possible, I'm currently running ganglia like this. I
have a different gmond.conf for each subcluster.
The only thing that changes between the gmond.conf's is the
"name" and
"mcast_channel", all other settings are the same.
As for the gmetad.conf, here's the crucial part of it:
data_source "Head Cluster" 300 10.10.1.19 data_source "Storage" 300
10.10.1.1 data_source "Monitor" 300 localhost
