I'm trying to setup a system where I have two local servers with replicated volumes. One is the scm and the other non-scm. When I stop the scm server I loose the connection to both servers. Nor can I start up a new venus, even if it only points to the replicated server. If I isolate the server filcon isolate -s <scm> the running clients seem to work fine, but I still can not start up a new client. I have not tried the opposit, where I stop the non-scm machine. I guess I don't see how multiple servers and client are supposed to interace. I run venus-setup <non-scm>,<scm> 20000 to add both servers. BTW, I'm running the 5.3.9 release. I'm also unsure of the format for /vice/db/VSGDB The documentation on http://www.mandrakesoft.com/~florin/coda/servers.html just lists each volume and all the servers on one line. The documentation at http://www.coda.cs.cmu.edu/doc/html/coda-howto-4.html looks like one line per server, and one with all servers? In the end I'm wanting to replicate to 3+ machines. 2 locally and 1 remote (different city), and have the client know about all local machines for failover. What is the best way to setup coda in this fassion. Later, JOSHReceived on 2000-10-12 14:27:51
