Hy,
i am working now since a week on a Problem setting up a Multihomed file
and Database Server and become crazy ..
my Scenario is the following :
|-----| 126.X |---------|192.X |-----| 192.X |------------| 9.X
|-----|
| | ----- |CellServ1| ---- | | ----- |AFS Client 1| ---- | |
| B | |---------| | A | |------------| | P
|
| A | | F | | L
| 9.X |-------------|
| C | 126.X |---------|192.X | S | 192.X |------------| 9.X | A
| ------------|Samba clients|
| K | ----- |CellServ1| ---- | | ----- |AFS Client 1| ---- | N
| |-------------|
| U | |---------| | L | |------------| | T
|
| P | | A | |
|
| | | N | | L
|
| L | 126.X |---------|192.X | | | A
|
| A | ----- |FileServ1| ---- | | | N
|
| N | |---------| | | |
|
| | | | |
|
|126.X| |192.X| |
9.X |
|-----| |-----| |-----|
so for Explanation ,
i like to setup the CellServers and Fileserver connected to the 126.X and
the 192.X Lan (but only use the 192.X Range for AFS)
the Clients read the Data from the FileServer and share the Data with
Samba to the Plant Lan .
The CellServDB look like this for all Clients and Servers in /usr/afs/etc/
and /usr/vice/etc:
>testme.org #test Cell
192.168.180.101 #Cellserv1.afslan.com
192.168.180.102 #Cellserv2.afslan.com
my /etc/hosts file is empty (only the 127.0.0.1 with localhost) , but
forward and reverse
look-up's are possible and correct for 126.x and 192.x network trough DNS
so 'host cellserv1' returns 192.168.180.101, also 'host
cellserv1.afslan.com' is pointing to 192.168.180.101
and reverse is also working 'host 192.168.180.101' is pointing to
cellserv1.afslan.com
so name resolution is not a Problem (and i also tried to put everything in
the /etc/hosts with the same result ).
the Interface configuration of cellserv1 for examples is :
en0 empty (not used and down)
en1 empty (not used and down)
en2 has ip 126.201.100.241 subnetmask 255.255.0.0 and gateway
126.201.100.9
en3 has ip 192.168.180.11 subnetmask 255.255.0.0 and no gateway
so , when i now try to start only this one host i get a lot off ubik
errors .
looking in the logs shows me , that 192.168.180.11 is not the primary ip
address
buserver , Fileserver , salvager ... are dieing every 10 -15 sec. and
restart
when is bos shutdown the server remove the 192.X ip , change the entry in
the Cellservdb to 126.X bos startup the Server , everything is working ,
but with the 126.X ip.
then i tried to use /usr/afs/local/NetRestict and /usr/afs/local/NetInfo
, same result , with the 192.X configured
cat /usr/afs/local/NetRestrict reports 126.201.100.241 and cat
/usr/afs/local/NetInfo reports 192.168.180.11
no change , he only reports me every time 192.X is not the primary address
.
when i remove the 126.X ip everything is back working .
it is also working , when i setup /etc/resolv.conf that 'host cellserv1'
and reports the 126.X address and change the CellServDB to the 126.X ip's
and start the Server
than starts correct , but only registers the 126.X ip in the VLDB .
so is it possible , that this is a bug in the OPENAFS AIX code ? because i
installed with the same setup a Linux Box and everything works fine .
I also reinstalled the whole AIX Box , so i think there is no Problem with
the installation itself .
it also looks like /usr/afs/local/NetRestict is not used for IP exclusions
.
i am running AIX 4.3.3 ML10
Some Hints or Help would be Great ..
Sven
