Thanks for your feedback, Kyle & Phil.<br>
Actually I had edited the pvfs2-ping last Friday to find Clone1 at tcp://clone1:3334<br>
<br>
But it still seems like there is a problem with pvfs server starting up ... after I start up the server on Clone1 and enter 'ps -ax | grep pvfs', there is no server processing running.<br>
<br>
Looking at the log file, it has the following entry :<br>
<br>
[D 1/19 10:15] PVFS2 Server version 2.7.1 starting.<br>
[D 1/19 10:15] Error initializing filesystem pvfs-fs<br>

[D 1/19 10:15] Error: Could not initialize server; aborting<br>

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).<br>
<br>
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.<br>
<br>
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.<br>

This usually is resultant of a server process not starting properly<br>
and exiting immediately<br>
<br>
Please check to see your server processes are indeed still running:<br>
`ps ax | grep pvfs`<br>
<br>
and then check /tmp/pvfs2-server.log for further details.<br>
<br>
Good luck!<br>

Hi,<br>
<br>
I am new to PVFS [and linux/networking :-) ] ... I could compile the code<br>
for PVFS2 and set it up as per the first few steps in the document (A Quick<br>
Start Guide to PVFS2).<br>
<br>
As an FYI, I set up the PVFS2 server on a hostname called ''clone1" (which<br>
is a Ubuntu VM running on my local box) using instructions mentioned in<br>
Chapter 3.1 and 3.2 and started it.<br>
<br>
However once I do the Client Configuration on a different hostname called<br>
"clone2" (which is also a different Ubuntu VM running on my local box) as<br>
per Chapter 3.3 and try to Test the Installation as per Chapter 3.4, I get<br>
the following error while running the following command on "clone2" :<br>
<br>
# ./pvfs2-ping -m /mnt/pvfs2<br>
<br>
.......<br>
.......<br>
(3) Initializing each file system found in tab file: /etc/pvfs2tab ...<br>

Failure: could not find filesystem for /mnt/pvfs2 in pvfs2tab /etc/pvfs2tab<br>
Entry 0: /mnt/pvfs2<br>
<br>
<br>
Is there something trivial that I am doing wrong ?<br>
Thanks for your help!<br>
