I reconsidered the whole idea of doing the dB clone and decided it shouldn't actually be hard to change the IP Address of the second machine to a higher IP Address instead and letting it be a full db server.
Thanks for your help.

However, in case your main server goes down you will loose the sync site until it is back up if you don't have a another non-clone db-server. -Hartmut Reuter Tom Mukunnemkeril wrote: > I currently have just one AFS database server and was considering setting up > another machine to just be a clone for back up purposes. > > > I was looking at the documentation for bos addhost and it indicates under the > -clone option that this should be used with caution. > > Are there any issues I need to watch out for to set this machine as a clone. > Additionally, this machine has a lower IP Address and I don't want it to be > considered a sync site. > > I'm currently running openafs 1.6.0 on my client/servers and linux kernel > 2.6.38.8 on Slackware 13.37 machines (64 bit). > > Bos addhost Page: http://docs.openafs.org/Reference/8/bos_addhost.html > > > Based on discussion about 1.4.x quorum election: > https://lists.openafs.org/pipermail/openafs-info/2011-October/037050.html > > Tom Mukunnemkeril > > _______________________________________________ OpenAFS-info mailing list > [email protected] > https://lists.openafs.org/mailman/listinfo/openafs-info -- ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hartmut Reuter e-mail [email protected] phone +49-89-3299-1328 fax +49-89-3299-1301 RZG (Rechenzentrum Garching) web http://www.rzg.mpg.de/~hwr Computing Center of the Max-Planck-Gesellschaft (MPG) and the Institut fuer Plasmaphysik (IPP) ----------------------------------------------------------------- _______________________________________________ OpenAFS-info mailing list [email protected] https://lists.openafs.org/mailman/listinfo/openafs-info _______________________________________________ OpenAFS-info mailing list [email protected] https://lists.openafs.org/mailman/listinfo/openafs-info
