Dear all,

we do maintain two CES clusters (CESA and CESB), and used to migrate virtual IPs from one to the other when doing maintenance. This worked great, but: now we have introduced kerberized NFSv4. In order to have this same functionality, we thought of moving the SPNs corresponding to the vIPs from one AD object to another, so for example


# Before the move:

CESA has nfs/ces-1.domain.com nfs/ces-2.domain.com

CESB has nfs/ces-3.domain.com

# After the move

CESA has nfs/ces-1.domain.com

CESB has nfs/ces-3.domain.com nfs/ces-2.domain.com


This kinda works out, but we do have troubles with the client credential caches, in the sense that the NFS mount works again after we do:

kdestroy -c /var/lib/gssproxy/clients/krb5cc_0 && KRB5CCNAME=KCM: kdestroy -A


Does anybody have a similar setup / usecase, or how do you manage e.g. upgrades without downtime or multiple CES clusters?

Thanks for any insight!


cheers

leo
