[gpfsug-discuss] Remote cluster mount failing

It could be "easy" in the end, e.g. regenerating the key ("mmauth genkey
new") may fix the issue.  Figuring out exactly what is going wrong is messy
though, and requires looking at a number of debug data points, something
that's awkward to do on a public mailing list.  I don't think you want to
post certificates et al on a mailing list.  The PMR channel is more
appropriate for this kind of thing.

That’s sorta what I was expecting. Though I was hoping someone might have
said 'oh just run mmchconfig ....' or something easy.

PMR on its way in.

Thanks!

It's unclear what's wrong. I'd have two main suspects: (1) TLS protocol
version confusion, due to a difference in GSKit version and/or
configuration (e.g. NIST SP800 compliance) on two sides (2) firewall. TLS
issues are usually messy and tedious to work though. I'd recommend opening
a PMR to facilitate debug data collection and analysis. A lot of gory
detail may be needed to figure out what's going on.

Hi All,

I'm trying to get some multi cluster thing working between two of our GPFS
clusters.

In the "client" cluster, when trying to mount the "remote" cluster, I get:

# mmmount gpfs
Wed  7 Sep 13:33:06 BST 2016: mmmount: Mounting file systems ...
mount: mount /dev/gpfs on /gpfs failed: Connection timed out
mmmount: Command failed. Examine previous error messages to determine
cause.


And in the log file:
Wed Sep  7 13:33:07.481 2016: [N] The client side TLS handshake with node
10.0.0.182 was cancelled: connection reset by peer (return code 420).
Wed Sep  7 13:33:07.486 2016: [N] The client side TLS handshake with node
10.0.0.181 was cancelled: connection reset by peer (return code 420).
Wed Sep  7 13:33:07.487 2016: [E] Failed to join remote cluster
GPFS_STORAGE.CLUSTER
Wed Sep  7 13:33:07.488 2016: [W] Command: err 78: mount
GPFS_STORAGE.CLUSTER:gpfs
Wed Sep  7 13:33:07.489 2016: Connection timed out

In the remote cluster, I see:

Wed Sep  7 13:33:07.487 2016: [W] The TLS handshake with node 10.0.0.222
failed with error 447 (server side).
Wed Sep  7 13:33:07.488 2016: [X] Connection from 10.10.0.35 <c0p174>
refused, authentication failed
Wed Sep  7 13:33:07.489 2016: [E] Killing connection from 10.10.0.35, err
703
Wed Sep  7 13:33:07.490 2016: Operation not permitted



Weirdly though on other nodes in the client cluster this succeeds fine and
can mount, so I think I got all the bits in the mmauth and mmremotecluster
configured correctly.

Any suggestions?

Thanks

Simon
