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 On Sun, Jan 18, 2009 at 7:30 PM, Phil Carns <[email protected]> wrote: > Also it looks like from your pvfs2-ping output that it is trying to find > the server at "tcp://clone2.3334".
