Hello all,
I'm having a pretty crappy day right now, hope someone can help me out.
What started this is my attempt to move our OpenAFS server from a VM to a
dedicated physical box. I'm running Ubuntu/Debian and using their openafs
packages on both machines.
Somewhere towards the end of moving the volumes from the old server to the
new server, things got badly goofed. The fs process will no longer start on
the new server and I find the following entry in the
/var/log/openafs/FileLog file:
<<
Wed Oct 3 19:26:59 2007 File server starting
Wed Oct 3 19:26:59 2007 afs_krb_get_lrealm failed, using
ridgetop-group.local.
Wed Oct 3 19:26:59 2007 VL_RegisterAddrs rpc failed; The IP address exists
on a different server; repair it
Wed Oct 3 19:26:59 2007 VL_RegisterAddrs rpc failed; See VLLog for details
Wed Oct 3 19:26:59 2007 Fatal error in library initialization, exiting!!

Unfortunately, there's nothing helpful in VLLog. Interestingly, "vos
listaddrs" returns nothing on the new server, either.
Running "vos listvldb" returns the following:
<<

I'm unsure why there are duplicate RO entries, but the last thing I was
working on was recreating RO volumes for root.cell and root.afs on the new
server.
I'm panicking because all of the volumes are now on the new server and
non-accessible. Anyone have some clue what I did wrong and how I can fix
things?
Thanks!
Karl
