[OpenAFS-devel] Ubik Problems adding afs server

[Erland Lewin]

Hello,

I am trying to add a second AFS server to my network in preparation of 
retiring the first.

My problem is that the new server (sol) is not able to start ptserver or 
vlserver:

> bash-3.00# bos status sol -localauth
> Instance buserver, currently running normally.
> Instance ptserver, temporarily disabled, stopped for too many errors, 
> currently shutdown.
> Instance vlserver, temporarily disabled, stopped for too many errors, 
> currently shutdown.
> Instance fs, currently running normally.
>     Auxiliary status is: file server running.

The logs say:
/usr/var/openafs/logs/PtLog:

> Sun Sep 24 04:00:20 2006 Using 172.16.1.11 as my primary address
> Sun Sep 24 04:00:20 2006 Inconsistent Cell Info on server: Sun Sep 24 
> 04:00:20 2006 83.227.241.4 Sun Sep 24 04:00:20 2006
> ptserver: problems with host name Ubik init failed

and /usr/var/openafs/logs/VLLog:

> Sun Sep 24 04:00:20 2006 Using 172.16.1.11 as my primary address
> Sun Sep 24 04:00:20 2006 Inconsistent Cell Info on server: Sun Sep 24 
> 04:00:20 2006 83.227.241.4 Sun Sep 24 04:00:20 2006
> vlserver: Ubik init failed with code 5385

sol has (private) IP address 176.16.1.11 and nirvana (the original afs 
server) has (public) 83.227.241.4.

sol is runnign openafs-1.4.2fc2 and nirvana is running 1.3.87 (I think).

I've tried restarting the servers in the order they are listed by bos 
listhosts (the result of this is the same on both machines):

> nirvana.lewin.nu>bos listhosts sol
> Cell name is lewin.nu
>     Host 1 is nirvana.lewin.nu
>     Host 2 is sol.lewin.nu

The only strangeness I've found is that vos listaddr -noresolve 
-localauth only lists sol (172.16.1.11). However nirvana works fine as 
afs server. The clocks on both servers are synchronized.

I've also tried running udebug while trying to start the ptserver on 
sol, which then says:

> return code -1 from VOTE_Debug

I'm at a loss as to where to go from here. Any help in tracking down the 
problem would be appreciated.
