Maybe you could send the list your config file? Looks like there might
be one more bad parameter in there. -- Rob

Thanks for your feedback, Kyle & Phil.
Actually I had edited the pvfs2-ping last Friday to find Clone1 at
tcp://clone1:3334
But it still seems like there is a problem with pvfs server starting
up ... after I start up the server on Clone1 and enter 'ps -ax |
grep pvfs', there is no server processing running.
Looking at the log file, it has the following entry :
[D 1/19 10:15] PVFS2 Server version 2.7.1 starting.
[D 1/19 10:15] Error initializing filesystem pvfs-fs
[D 1/19 10:15] Error: Could not initialize server interfaces; aborting
[D 1/19 10:15] Error: Could not initialize server; aborting
[D 1/19 10:15] dbpf_finalize: Invalid argument

Also it looks like from your pvfs2-ping output that it is trying to
find the server at "tcp://clone2.3334". From your description I
think the server is running on clone1, though. You might want to
check your pvfs2tab file and make sure it has "tcp://clone1:3334" in
it (note the change from '.' to ':' as well).
That tabfile entry needs to point to a server on the file system.
Most people use the first server (if there is more than one) but any
server will do.
If the tab file entry is correct, then check your server
configuration file instead and make sure that it only has
clone1:3334 in it as well.

This usually is resultant of a server process not starting properly
and exiting immediately
Please check to see your server processes are indeed still running:
`ps ax | grep pvfs`
and then check /tmp/pvfs2-server.log for further details.
Good luck!

Hi,
I am new to PVFS [and linux/networking :-) ] ... I could compile the
code
for PVFS2 and set it up as per the first few steps in the document
(A Quick
Start Guide to PVFS2).
As an FYI, I set up the PVFS2 server on a hostname called
''clone1" (which
is a Ubuntu VM running on my local box) using instructions mentioned
in
Chapter 3.1 and 3.2 and started it.
However once I do the Client Configuration on a different hostname
called
"clone2" (which is also a different Ubuntu VM running on my local
box) as
per Chapter 3.3 and try to Test the Installation as per Chapter 3.4,
I get
the following error while running the following command on "clone2" :
# ./pvfs2-ping -m /mnt/pvfs2
.......
.......

Is there something trivial that I am doing wrong ?
Thanks for your help!
