Hi,
I am setting up a new AFS cell on AWS and am running into some issues
during afs-newcell. I am setting up the first AFS server with all the
components. When I first setup a cell everything worked fine except that it
was inaccessible outside of AWS. It seemed that the fileserver and dbserver
were being resolved to the instance's private hostname and IP inside AWS's
NAT. On my second try I edited afs-newcell to use my desired hostname
instead of the instance's. This hostname has a public IP and is accessible
from outside AWS
The error I am getting now is that ptserver does not seem to be happy
seeing that the local hostname and the hostname I am setting up do not
agree. The PtLog says:
Tue Jun 18 03:31:55 2013 Inconsistent Cell Info from server: Tue Jun 18
03:31:55 2013 <instance's private NAT IP> Tue Jun 18 03:31:55 2013

afs-newcell fails when it tries to contact bos. The BosLog says:

>From the little I found online there were some references to a NetInfo
file, but I was unable to find any good documentation for it. The file does
not appear in my instance.
Has anyone had similar experiences setting up an AFS cell in AWS? or behind
a NAT?
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thank you!
Victor
