Marcus,
Changing the name value does not affect who the nodes communicate with.
The way I avoid this is by creating a separate channel for each 'Farm'
(cluster). To do this I pick a different multicast port for each
cluster. By changing the port, the nodes no longer talk to each other
and the clusters contain unique nodes. In 2.5.x syntax you would have
two gmond.conf files that had the following values set:
-- Farm-A gmond.conf --
name "Farm-A"
mcast_port 8649
-- Farm-B gmond.conf --
name "Farm-B"
mcast_port 8650
Good luck,
Ian

Hi All,
I'm having a problem where one of my linux nodes is showing up in 2
different farms on the webfrontend. This is because I have Farm-A and
Farm-B, one of the nodes on Farm-B just happens to be on the same
subnet as one of the machines in Farm-A (lets call this node NODE1B.
Due to multicast, the NODE1B picks up my Farm-B node and adds it to
the Farm-A. I hope that wasn't too complicated.
Now you're probably wondering why it would show up in Farm-B's grid if
it is being picked up by multicast on Farm-A. The thing is, I want it
to belong to Farm-B on purpose , so in /etc/gmond.conf for the Farm
name it belongs to I made it the same as the the other nodes in
Farm-B. This is kind of a hack since I'm forcing it to join Farm-B,
but in the end, that's where I want it to be.
Basically, how do I stop the node in Farm-A from picking up the node
in Farm-B via multicast. I don't want a node showing up in 2 different
farms on the webfront end. I tried explaining it the best I can, I
have a feeling no one knows what I'm talking about though. Thanks in
advance!
