Hi All,
Thank a lot for the wonderful response.
I am able to setup the AFS Server on AIX 5.3 following the documentation.
Now, I have 2 clients, one on Linux and one on Windows. On Linux, I logged
in and get this error. xyz.com cell is listed in /afs. It does exist on
CellServDB and ThisCell.
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]# /usr/bin/klog admin
Password:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]# cd /afs/xyz.com
-bash: cd: /afs/xyz.com: No such device
On Windows, I logged in, obtained the token. Mapped /afs to D: on my
machine. But in D: xyz.com is not listed in it.
Please help me get through at this point. Am I doing anythin wrong? Shud I
be creating Volumes or stuff on the AIX box?
Please advise me.
Thanks,
Srikanth

If you get different behavior on FC3, and it didn't change when you
hand-editted the configuration files, you probably have binaries with
different configuration that aren't looking at your configuration
files. Ie, the binaries you're using expect different paths for
CellServDB & ThisCell. It's also possible that there's a weirdness
with newlines and ThisCell, which would be due to an openafs bug you
might be able to fix by getting a later version of openafs, or that
you've made a typo, ...
To find out what paths your server binary is using:
strace -f -o /tmp/something /usr/afs/bin/bosserver [options -- see your
notes.]
[ proceed with installation until you get the error]
^C out of strace
egrep '(CellServDB|ThisCell|BosConfig|KeyFile)' /tmp/something
If you see weird paths for CellServDB & ThisCell, then your
openafs was built with a different configuration (than your AIX
& Solaris builds) - and you will need to revise your installation
directions accordingly.
For the openafs bug & for folks here, do this and
report *exactly* what you see (do not obscure ip addresses etc.)
od -xc ThisCell CellServDB
sed -n l ThisCell CellServDB
ThisCell should end with a newline. sed may tack on a newline;
od will not (but may tack on a spurious \0 "past" eof.)
If the newline is missing, some versions of openafs will get confused.
CellServDB should contain no spaces between > and cellname, & whitespace
# comment after the cellname.
Also be sure your bos command is talking to the right test host.
You can use strace for that as well.
