I don't have a DNS server in my subnet, and the hosts file
works fine. (Ping, telnet ... all go to the correct servers.)
I even tried using IP addres, but got the same result.
I also switched the SCM and the second server with the result
that again all data is stored on the second server.

Now I tested it with even another server (sf21).
Again the same: Both replicas are on the second server, but
none on the SCM. :-(

The createvol_rep shows the following:
(Now sf2 being the SCM and sf21 being the replica.)
