Hello all,I've added some new fileservers to the cell recently that use iSCSI disk for vicepX partitions. We've noticed the named disks listed in listaddr, and I have one report of a Mac client trying to hit it as a fileserver. Here's the 'vos listaddr' output. Redundant paths on each server is the reason for the iscsi0, and iscsi1 names.afsfs12.server.rpi.edu afsfs12-iscsi0.iscsi.rpi.edu afsfs12-iscsi1.iscsi.rpi.edu afsfs13.server.rpi.edu afsfs13-iscsi0.iscsi.rpi.edu My questions are: Since they are listed in the VLDB, will clients try hitting them?
yes. If the VLDB reports the address to the client, the client will use it.
If I remove them with 'vos changeaddr -remove' will they be relisted somehow? Will they return?
As long as your file server continues to report those addresses as being valid addresses for the file server, they will continue to be inserted into the VLDB.
Use the NetRestrict file on each file server to limit the reported addresses.
