[Pvfs2-users] Problem running the PVFS2 Installation Test

[Phil Carns]

Also it looks like from your pvfs2-ping output that it is trying to find 
the server at "tcp://clone2.3334".  From your description I think the 
server is running on clone1, though.  You might want to check your 
pvfs2tab file and make sure it has "tcp://clone1:3334" in it (note the 
change from '.' to ':' as well).

That tabfile entry needs to point to a server on the file system.  Most 
people use the first server (if there is more than one) but any server 
will do.

If the tab file entry is correct, then check your server configuration 
file instead and make sure that it only has clone1:3334 in it as well.
