Please reply to the list so that others can offer help as well.

I think there may be some confusion in your terminology / understanding
of how the PVFS filesystem works.  A PVFS filesystem consists of a
metadata (mgr) server, and several I/O (iod) servers.  The daemons which
provide these functions can run on different machines, or the same
machines.  The preferred method is to have the daemons run on separate
machines.  Thus, in a simple example, you might have

metaserver (mgr)
ioserver1 (iod)
ioserver2 (iod)

And then you have some number of clients, which want to mount the PVFS
filesystem.  We will call these machines 'client1' and 'client2'.  The
client machines all use the same mount command:

mount.pvfs metaserver:/pvfs-meta /local-mount-point

If your clients happen to be the same as your metadata server or I/O
servers, that doesn't matter - the mount command is the same.
